On Deck for A Cause

[DCThunder]

What is the current "cause" that HAL is doing the "walkathons" for?  Is it still Ukraine relief as it was last spring (March 2023) or have they moved on to another one?

They will find something to get that tax deduction

It was Ukraine in December.

I expect Ukraine may have some staying power since HAL was actually involved in the effort.  On my Eurodam November 22 walk one of the staff coordinating the walk had actually served on the Volendam when it was housing refugees so it is a part of HAL history.

For the ones near Maui, I  think they are supporting them this year.

The money raised through On Deck For A Cause on the current Koningsdam  Hawaii cruise, which I'm on, goes to the relief fund for the recovery frommthe fire on Maui.

Here’s a display of thank you notes from the Ukrainian refugees that lived on Volendam for several months:
