In March, the Hawaii affiliate awarded 15 grants to clinics throughout the state to help fund breast cancer screenings.

Planned Parenthood Hawaii received a Komen grant in 2006, but Garcia says the organization has not asked for money since.

The Komen Affiliate is in a small office in Kaimuki.  It only has 1.5 employees.  The rest of the help comes completely from volunteers.

"Without our volunteers we couldn't do it.  And the base that we have is really, really dedicated," said Garcia.

It's a dedicated group that's plowing ahead and trying to stay focused on Hawaii upcoming race.

Seventy-five percent of the funds raised from the race stays here in Hawaii.  Twenty-five percent goes toward national breast cancer research.
