The SoCal Group, Inc Participates in Komen's Walk for the Cure
The Aventura Sailing Club teamed up with The Marine Institute and The SoCal Group to raise funds for The Susan G. Komen Foundation.
- Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) November 09, 2010 - Hundreds of people gathered in the end of October in support of The Aventura Sailing Association's Second Annual Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure. Participants chose from two different walking paths: one 45 minute walk around the island or a 2 hour scenic walk around the harbor. Participants were asked to make a $15 minimum donation and also received free admission to the Ocean Institute that day. They also enjoyed food, drinks, and a raffle after the walk.
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series (http://ww5.komen.org/) raises funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. The event was held to raise additional funds in support of the cause, to celebrate breast cancer survivors, and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease. The first race took place in Dallas in 1983 with 800 participants. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
Local participating organizations included: The Aventura Sailing Club, The Marine Institute, and The Southern California Group, Inc (http://www.socalgroupinc.com).
"Participating in The Walk for the Cure was important to me because it gave us a great opportunity to give our time to a good cause and raise awareness about an important issue in the community," said Shauna Hobbins, an employee of The Southern California Group, Inc. "We hope to have an even bigger group participate next year and continue the tradition for years to come."
