Save The Coconuts is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.

save the coconuts at the finish of the 3 Day in 2008Save 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 (that's us, left, finishing the walk). 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 more importantly, we were the second highest fundraising team at the event. Contributing $90,000 to Komen For The Cure, 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.
