GOLDEN AGE FOUNDATION

After five months of planning, the Golden Age Foundation’s Walk & Roll-A-Thon was held Oct. 26 with over 215 people signed up to walk the 2.5-mile route, five performing entertainment groups, 20 vendor exhibits, lots of prizes, two food trucks, five water stations, and over 150 volunteers. This was the first time the event was held in over 10 years.

Legends of Rock greeted walkers as they returned to Clubhouse 6, and Hui O Hula, Aloha Ukulele Club, Song Birdz, and the 4th Street Band for Seniors performed as well. Residents also visited food trucks and vendor exhibits inside the clubhouse.
