Please join us for the 20th Race for the Cure Hawaii

on Sunday, October 19th at Kapiolani Park.

Registration will open May 2014.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series is the largest series of 5K run/fitness walks in the world. All registration fees include only the official Komen Race for the Cure® T-shirt and Race bib. Registration fees get us to the start line, but your fundraising helps to save lives and fund cancer research. You'll be surprised how easy it is to start!

Walk or Run (Individual or Team) - $30 Registration Fee

You can fundraise for the Race for the Cure® as either an individual or as part of a team (start a new team or join an existing one). Registration opens , May 2013, to walk or run with us in either our 5K or one-mile event.

Rather Sleep In? (Hiamoe for the Cure)

Join Hiamoe for the Cure, Hawai'i's Sleep In for the Cure®! This is a great option for those who will not be in town on race day, prefer not to get up early on Sunday, or just love to sleep! Participants who Sleep In still get to support the Komen Hawai'i Affiliate by saving lives and funding research with fundraising. Instead of a Race bib, you will receive a pillowcase along with the official Komen Race for the Cure® T-shirt.

Survivors

Whether you choose to register to walk, run, or Sleep In, if you indicate that you are a breast cancer survivor during registration, you will receive a pink survivor T-shirt and hat along with your official Komen Race for the Cure® T-shirt and Race bib. Be sure to take part in our Race Day Survivor Recognition Program generously sponsored by Zeta Tau Alpha!

Volunteer

Volunteers are an integral part of the Komen Organization. The Race for the Cure® would not be possible without the help of hundreds of committed volunteers. Join an amazing group of individuals that dedicate their time, talent, and energy to our great cause.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure Hawaii Affiliate

The Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front. Up to 75 percent of the Affiliate's net income goes toward funding grants to local hospitals and community organizations that provide breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs for medically underserved women. The remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the national Komen Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.

The Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, established in 1999, sponsors fundraising events including the Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure®. In 1995, the first Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure® was held in Honolulu with 800 participants. We are now celebrating our 18th Annual Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure® and our race has progressed. We hope to have 8,500 runners or walkers this year helping to raise money to fund screening, treatment and prevention for the underserved and uninsured women of Hawaii and to provide education about breast cancer.

Up to 75% of net funds raised from the Race and other fundraising events are provided to support other local non-profit organizations and educational institutions. No less than 25% of net funds raised support breast cancer research. To date, we have funded over $2,000,000.00 for breast health and breast cancer education, screening and treatment throughout the state of Hawaii.

Our Promise
To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is a national organization with a network of more than 100,000 survivors and volunteers working through 125 Affiliates across the United States and three international

Affiliates in Puerto Rico, Germany, and Italy. Credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against cancer, the Dallas-based foundation and its Affiliate volunteers deliver the life-saving message of early detection to thousands of women and men and continue to lead the way in fund raising for breast cancer research and community outreach programs.

Established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has raised more than $1 billion for the fight against breast cancer.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® has become the Foundation's signature fundraising event. Originating in Dallas in 1983 with 800 participants, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® now includes men, women and children of all ages and athletic abilities.

It is an emotional and exhilarating event that gives women and their families an opportunity to support the fight against breast cancer in their communities, to remember those who have lost the battle, and to celebrate those who are surviving. The Race has also become the largest 5K run series in the nation with over 1.4 million participants in over 100 races in 2008 and is a nationally recognized sporting event in Runner's World, USA Track and Field, McCall's and many other premier magazines and media outlets.

Our Core Values
Our guiding principles were born from a simple promise made between two sisters...

Inclusion - to embrace the uniqueness of every individual
Stewardship - to be accountable for our performance, individually and collectively
Honesty - to foster a community of trust and integrity
Openness - to seek out new ideas and new ways of thinking
Passion - to demonstrate personal commitment to our Promise
Empowerment - to entrust others and hold yourself accountable

It began with a sister's promise. It will end with a cure.
