The Lamorinda community showed their support for the Kapnek Trust USA by coming out in record numbers on Sunday, Aug. 27 to the annual Fun Run and Carnival held at Moraga Commons. The morning event was in celebration and support of the Trust's efforts to end pediatric HIV in Zimbabwe. Every year the Trust holds a 5K run along with shorter runs for children and walkers/stroller-pushers to raise money in support of this worthy cause.

Members of the local National Charity League, local Boys Team Charity, staff from Lamorinda Pediatrics and members of local Boy Scout Troop 237 all pitched in to make the day a grand success.

Through partnership with J.F. Kapnek Zimbabwe and various governmental organizations, Kapnek Trust USA has developed and implemented initiatives that continue to prevent thousands of cases of HIV AIDS in newborns every year. It has created preschool programs now serving over 15,000 children at over 150 preschool sites, and has brought services to families with disabled children.
