2010 Run for Her 5K:
K.W. Lee Center Pledge Drive

Hello Friends and Supporters of The KW Lee Center!

We are recruiting volunteer runners/walkers to raise funds for The Center at the "Run for Her" 5K Run & Friendship Walk on Sunday, November 14, 2010, at 9:00 am at Pan Pacific Park, 7600 Beverly Blvd. If you would like to walk/run a 5K distance for the KW Lee Center, we could really use your support! Please contact me by email (hong.janet -AT- gmail.com) or by phone (917) 617-9149 so that we know that you will participate.

Registration is $35 before November 10, 2009, $40 after.

The easiest way to register is online - here is the website address:

Run for Her Official Registration Site

The first link under "General Information" says "registration" - just click on that link, register as an individual, and also enter your personal info. You will then have to have a credit card ready for the $35 registration fee. The registation fee will go towards fighting ovarian cancer, but all other donations will go to the KW Lee Center.

Pledges by credit card can be made through the Center website by clicking here (not the Run for her 5K site):

We have created our own pledge sheet to keep track of your donations which I've attached. All donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be provided. Each runner/walker should have a goal of raising $200 for the race.

Thank you for your continued support and hope to see you on race day!

Such is Abraham Lincoln, an icon of all humanity beyond borders.
So are Korean diaspora pioneers Dosan Ahn Chang Ho (Island Mountain) and Charles Ho (Nobody) Kim who are now among the pantheons of not only Korean but American heroes.
These towering figures from our American heritage share one common trait: They couldn’t afford attending a day in college.
