Centenarians honored at caregiver walk
Centenarians Dorothy “Pat” Hall, Emiliana Tabon and Chiyoko Hiromoto are honored Saturday morning at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center during Maui Adult Day Care Center’s Family Caregiver Walk. Organizers said the annual fundraiser drew more than 600 walkers that raised $45,868 as of Saturday morning. They were hoping to hit their $50,000 goal. Maui Adult Cay Care provides a safe, loving environment for Maui kupuna while allowing their caregivers to go to work or just take a break. It offers a variety of programs.
