          7:15 a.m. – 1 Mile Fun Walk / Run

Location:  Kapiolani Park, Honolulu, HI

Length of Race:  Coed 5K (3.1 miles) race and a 1-mile fun walk/run

Entrants:  More than 8,000 male and female runners and walkers are expected

Beneficiaries:  Up to 75% of the net proceeds from the Race will go to fund local area breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs (see Hawaii Grants) and at least 25% will help fund the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program.

The Hawaii Race will appeal to the serious and casual runner, but most importantly it will appeal to those that have been touched by the disease and those who recognize the need to combat it.  Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, friends and family members of those that have lost their battle to breast cancer and breast cancer survivors will be at the race running individually as well as part of corporate teams.

Michael Zimmerman is on the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
