Save The Coconuts was formed in 2008 as one of the teams participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, 60-Mile Walk in Washington, DC, raising funds to fight breast cancer. With a team of 18 walkers, we were quite a presence at the walk — by the end of the three days, everyone knew "The Coconuts!" But but more important, we were the second highest fundraising team at the event. Contributing $90,000 to Komen For The Cure, and together with our sister team, Blister Sisters, who had 20 walkers in the two-day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Washington, DC, we raised over $160,000 for breast cancer research in 2008.

Save The Coconuts deeply regrets the recent passing of Julia Brill. Memorial donations may be made to Annapolis Community Foundation. Please note "Save The Coconuts" on the check, and mail to Annapolis Community Foundation, attn. Save The Coconuts, P. O. Box 5736, Annapolis, MD 21403.  All proceeds will directly benefit metastatic breast cancer research. You may read more about this important research here.

With the momentum generated and the name recognition we have earned in the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County areas, we decided in 2009 to form our own organization. Save The Coconuts is now a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.

Look for lots of events from us this year! Plans are in the works to host numerous fundraisers. We've ordered new merchandise, and we will probably host an Annapolis area 5K or 10K walk/run as alternatives or complements to the Avon and Komen multi-day walks.
