Adoptive dad Darius Livian is all about giving back to his community. For the fifth year in a row, Livian, a Monterey County mortgage broker, is spearheading the local “Hike for Charity” benefiting Kinship Center and three other local charities.

This year’s event takes place Saturday, June 11 at Toro Regional Park and includes three levels of hikes so families and hikers of all ages will be able to participate.

All registered hikers will receive a special T-shirt, and healthy food and drinks will be offered to hikers at the end.

The goal? “We want to support local charities and promote healthy living,” says Livian.
