Please join us as a Team, Sponsor, Food/Beverage Vendor or Volunteer. This is your opportunity to have a great time and help raise money for cancer research. Day after day we all hear stories of loved ones lost to cancer. We can choose to do nothing or rally together and help eradicate this disease. It is my goal to bring friends and the Hawaii business community together to create a force that generates funds for the University of Hawaii Cancer Center for decades to come. We owe this to ourselves and the millions of people affected by cancer.
