Cruise raises breast cancer awareness
Dolphin Discoveries is sponsoring a “Day with the Dolphins” cruise to raise awareness to breast cancer in the community on Monday. The cruise is open to those who are currently undergoing treatment, but well enough to participate, as well as cancer survivors, and anyone who would like to make a donation to both raising breast cancer awareness and the American Cancer Society. The profits from the day will be given to the local chapter of the American Cancer Society.
Dolphin Discovers is celebrating three female employees who are all survivors of breast cancer from five to 15 years. It is asking participants to wear pink — men included.
Dolphin Discoveries has been running snorkel and dolphin tours in Kona for close to 20 years. It was recently awarded the Trip Advisor Hall of Fame award for receiving the certificate of excellence for five years in a row.
