Cayman Islands: 11th Annual Breeze Fusion 5K Walk/Run set for November 4th

George Town, GC, October 2, 2017: Coming off of their record setting year in 2016, the annual Breeze Fusion 5K Walk / Run is seeking to exceed expectations this coming November 4th. The event organized by Radio Cayman and Breeze FM, also saw success with their inaugural Cayman Brac leg in 2016, and will be returning to the Sister Island on November 25th.

Since inception in 2007, proceeds from the Breeze Fusion race have supported the National Council for Voluntary Organizations (NCVO), an independent, non-profit, charitable organization which engages in projects to meet the ever-growing needs of the community. Funds from this year’s Grand Cayman race will also benefit the Special Needs Foundation and the Lions Club of Cayman Brac Kid’s Pantry. The Special Needs Foundation is a non-profit organization of parents, educators and professionals committed to supporting children with a range of special needs across the Cayman Islands and the Kids Pantry Project is an initiative which provides nutritious snacks to children who would otherwise go to school hungry.

Paulette Conolly-Bailey, Deputy Director for Radio Cayman, commented on the event success “Every year the Breeze Fusion Walk/Run gets bigger and more exciting. It feels wonderful that we can raise funds to support these worthy causes while having fun and fellowship with our families and friends and the community on a whole”.

The 11th Annual event has been well received by the corporate community, with Yello, Reflections, Cayman National, Roma United S.C., Sign Solutions, Net Clues, Green Machine and Rush Energy Drink sponsoring this year’s Walk/Run.
