Your walk helps build hope for a future with better kidney health for everyone affected. By participating in the 2026 Hawai‘i Kidney Walk, you’re showing patients, families, and caregivers that they’re not alone.

Organized by the National Kidney Foundation of Hawai‘i (NKFH), the Kidney Walk is the nation’s largest walk dedicated to kidney health. The event brings together patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and community members in a shared commitment to awareness, prevention, and support.

Kidney disease affects more than 37 million adults in the United States, with millions more at risk. Early detection and education are key to slowing disease progression and improving outcomes. Funds raised through the Hawai‘i Kidney Walk support lifesaving programs that educate communities, advocate for better care, and provide direct support to patients and their families.

Getting started is easy:

1. Register today and start fundraising.
2. Personalize your Kidney Walk page.
3. Begin fundraising — check out our Fundraiser Toolkit for simple ways to get started.

The 2026 Hawaii Watercolor Society Members’ Show, entitled “99% Transparent” refers to the requirement that the paintings be executed with 99% transparent watercolor paints. The show features 77 works by 43 member artists. The juror for the show is Sterling Edwards, an internationally renowned watermedia master artist, instructor, mentor, and author. Sterling began a second career in 1993 to pursue his passion for painting as a visual and interpretive artist. Having studied art since the age of twelve, he developed a unique and expressive style of painting that has since gained international acclaim and the respect of his peers, students, art collectors, and designers.
The exhibition also features artwork from 11 notable Hawai'i glass artists from Glass Fusion Hawaiʻi exhibiting approximately 35 pieces of glass art. The inclusion of glass artwork complements the luminosity of transparent watercolor paintings.

Opening Reception for the exhibition is Friday, March 6, 5-8 PM with an Awards Presentation. Closing Reception will occur on Saturday, March 28, 4-6 PM with Artist talks and presentation of the People's Choice Award.
The aim of the Hawai'i Watercolor Society is to nurture and stimulate interest in watermedia through education, exhibits, and collaboration with other organizations, associations and individuals.
