The
Half Moon Bay International Marathon (HMBIM) and BRAZZLE BERRY Half
Moon Bay are teaming up to sponsor a Volunteer Drive for the upcoming
HMBIM race. On Saturday, August 25, HMBIM staff will be on hand at the
BRAZZLE BERRY Frozen Yogurt store's flagship location in Strawflower
Village in Half Moon Bay to answer questions and to make it easy to sign
up volunteers. In return, everyone who signs up as a volunteer will
receive a FREE 5 oz serving of BRAZZLE BERRY frozen yogurt.
The Volunteer Drive will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Saturday
August 25, at Strawflower Center, 80 North Cabrillo Hwy. Suite M, in
Half Moon Bay. Volunteers of the HMBIM join with many others from the
community to make the event happen, receive a FREE HMBIM shirt, and
enter into a chance to win one of several local business giveaways.
"BRAZZLE BERRY is proud to support and be a part of the 2012 Half Moon
Bay International Marathon event," said Barry Brazzle (or Dave Seaton?),
Chief Berry Officer. "We recognize the amazing contribution the HMBIM
is making again in 2012 and we are happy to entice people to come join
in the fun with the best frozen yogurt around!"
"The HMBIM is very appreciative of BRAZZLE BERRY's support to sponsor
the Volunteer Drive," said Eric Vaughan, HMBIM Executive Director. "In
2012 we're contributing over $1mm of direct economic benefit to the
Coastside and the greater Bay Area by supporting the athletes who are
traveling to the race, and we want the community to come join the fun
and volunteer!"
The 2nd running of the sold-out HMBIM, to be held September 23,
2012, features 1000 athletes from 35 states and 6 countries, along with
world renowned athlete and author, Dean Karnazes, as the official guest
of the race. The all volunteer force works together to ensure the race
exceeds everyone's expectations, and sets a great example for Half Moon
Bay as a community event. Full information on the event is available on
the Web at http://halfmoonbayim.org.
About the Half Moon Bay International Marathon:
Featuring "26.2 Miles of Running Heaven", the Half Moon Bay
International Marathon (HMBIM) was founded in 2011 to showcase the
unique beauty of the California coast along with some of the best
weather a marathon athlete could ever hope for. The inaugural event in
2011 featured athletes from 25 states and 4 countries and sold out in
two months despite very little promotion. An official Boston Qualifier
event sanctioned by the USA Track and Field organization, the HMBIM also
focused on creating an eco-friendly event to consider the precious
coastal community and worked to attain official status with the Council
for Responsible Sport, receiving the coveted Gold Certification from
this organization in the Event's very first year. The HMBIM features a
full and half marathon and 10k and 5k events all on the same day.
About BRAZZLE BERRY:

experience by offering self-serve yogurt in a clean, natural and
relaxing atmosphere. Motivated by the healthy alternative that all
natural yogurts offer, and inspired by the Brazilian culture and
commitment to the acai berry, BRAZZLE BERRY strives to establish a
dominant market leadership position in the health food sector within
five years.
While the rapid growth of the self-serve yogurt industry has put little
differentiation between true healthy alternatives and phony

quality, all-natural and freshest ingredients.
