The  event was held to raise additional funds in support of the cause, to  celebrate breast cancer survivors, and honor those who have lost their  battle with the disease. The first race took place in Dallas in 1983  with 800 participants. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local participating organizations included: The Aventura Sailing  Club, The Marine Institute, and The Southern California Group, Inc (&lt;a href="http://www.socalgroupinc.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.socalgroupinc.com&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Participating in The Walk for the Cure was important to me because  it gave us a great opportunity to give our time to a good cause and  raise awareness about an important issue in the community,” said Shauna  Hobbins, an employee of The Southern California Group, Inc. “We hope to  have an even bigger group participate next year and continue the  tradition for years to come.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See photos from the event on Facebook.

Other popular items included  boxing gloves autographed by World Champion Boxer Manny Pacquiao and  autographed memorabilia signed by NBA Champion Kobe Bryant. All proceeds  from the auction went toward the club’s academic enrichment, arts,  extracurricular and leadership development programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Boys &amp;amp; Girls Club (&lt;a href="http://www.bgca.org/Pages/index.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.bgca.org/&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;Pages/index.aspx&lt;/a&gt;)  is designed to be a place where the youth of the community can feel  safe and have the opportunity to develop successful habits in regards to  leadership and social roles. The club maintains a low fee of $20 a year  so that all youth of the community have the ability to participate. The  mission of The Boys and Girls Club is to enable all young people to  reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Giving back to the community’s youth was an extremely rewarding experience,”&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;  said April Weber, a participant and employee of The SoCal Group. “I’m  glad to know that because of our efforts, these kids will have more  tools to help them achieve their long term goals and the opportunity to  impact the community.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the end of the night, over $250,000 was raised. Over 50  volunteers participated at the Gala, including a team of ten from The  SoCal Group, Inc.
