Standup Paddle around Newport Beach to Benefit Komen OC on May 5, 2012

Matty Schweitzer, Zane's brother, is a fantastic sports videographer and has made this amazing movie for us all entitled "Standup" to promote and celebrate our event & cause.  The video features Zane and Brennan, both of whom you'll meet on May 5th, with their female paddlesurf team sporting Victory for Women pink jerseys!  Shawneen Schweitzer makes a cameo appearance too. Matty shot the video in Mexico during the recent competition won by Zane and set it to Kelby Anno's beautifully composed and recorded song dedicated to all breast cancer survivors and their families.  It's 3 minutes of fun and great youthful enthusiasm!

Born in a sister's promise.

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. For more information about breast health or breast cancer call 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636). The Komen Orange County Affiliate is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public chairty that operates under the charter of the international organization headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Tax ID number: 33-0487943. 1 in 8 women are touched by breast cancer and early detection is critical.  Digital mammograms can detect breast cancer even at the earliest stage zero and effective treatment can be given.  Every $125 donated to Susan G Komen OC enables a local woman to have this screening test and potentially save her life.  Join us in our campaign to save lives!
