Big Box Storage Proudly Sponsors America’s Finest City Half Marathon

Big Box Storage is proud to announce its role as a major sponsor of the upcoming America’s Finest City Half Marathon, scheduled for August 20, 2006, in San Diego, California. This event is more than just a race—it is a celebration of community, perseverance, and charitable giving.

Supporting Causes That Matter

This year’s marathon will raise funds for two impactful nonprofit organizations. The Cabrillo National Monument Foundation works to preserve and enhance one of San Diego’s most iconic historical landmarks. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by one of the deadliest forms of cancer through research, advocacy, and patient support.

Since its inception nearly three decades ago, the AFC Half Marathon has generated over 1.6 million dollars for various nonprofit causes. Big Box Storage is proud to contribute to that ongoing impact and align with organizations that are creating real change.

Why Big Box Storage Is Getting Involved

At Big Box Storage, we understand that community support means more than offering a great product. It means stepping up and showing support for the people and places that matter. By sponsoring the AFC Half Marathon, we are not only supporting a major athletic event in the city we serve but also contributing to two important organizations that are doing meaningful work.

The Cabrillo National Monument is a cornerstone of local heritage, offering educational opportunities, stunning views, and a deep connection to San Diego’s past. It deserves protection and continued support.

On a personal level, we are especially moved to support the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease with a high mortality rate and limited early detection methods. Increased awareness and funding are critical to changing outcomes. We are honored to stand with those fighting for progress and hope.

About the Event

Organized by Neil Finn Sports Management, Inc., the AFC Half Marathon is one of San Diego’s most anticipated athletic events. It attracts runners from across the country who come to challenge themselves, enjoy the city’s coastal beauty, and support worthy causes.

From seasoned athletes to first-time participants, the marathon offers an inspiring experience that brings people together for a shared purpose. Whether you are running, walking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, your presence helps amplify the event’s impact.
