Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk returns to Kapiolani Park
Registration is open for Hawaii's Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk, a feel-good community fundraiser for breast cancer research and patient support.
- The walk takes place Sunday at Kapiolani Park in Honolulu, with a Zumba warm-up at 7 a.m., a ceremony at 8 a.m., and the walk stepping off at 9 a.m.
- It is the group's signature annual fundraiser, timed to Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
- Organizers are urging women to learn their personal risk and book an annual mammogram.
- A new campaign sells a "giving tee" designed by Hawaii fashion designer Stella Lee Young, with a chip in the sleeve that lets people donate by tapping a phone to it.
- Good weather is forecast, which matters after recent worries about rain disrupting outdoor events.
Outlook: Fine weather and open registration point to a strong turnout Sunday, with the tap-to-donate shirt likely to be tested as a new fundraising tool.
