FACTS-AT-A-GLANCE

About the Race
This year, the 1040K Run/Walk will celebrate its 20th Anniversary. Since its inception in 1990, 1040K Run/Walk has been held in beautiful Coconut Grove and has attracted hundreds of runners each year. Proceeds from the event are awarded to African-American accounting students in South Florida in memory of Lewis Davis, Miami-Dade County’s first African-American CPA, community leader, and co-founder of the Greater Miami-South Florida Chapter - National Association of Black Accountants, Inc.

This event has tremendous local support and has become a great experience for families and co-workers to get together for fun and exercise while contributing to a very cause.

Not a runner? No problem! Your token application fee ($25 or less) enters you into all the “after-race” festivities including free food, drinks, t-shirts, door-prizes and much more! But most of all, these fees will benefit FICPA Educational Foundation and the Minority Summer Residency Program, who will award scholarships to some of the best and brightest minority accounting students in South Florida.

Get out your party hats and running shoes and make your plans now to be in Coconut Grove on Wednesday, April 15th!!!

About the Florida Institute of CPAs Educational Foundation, Inc.
The quality of tomorrow’s accountants is vitally important. When we recruit, we look for bright, well-educated individuals willing to dedicate themselves to the CPA profession. The financial burden of a college education has dramatically increased, especially with the necessary fifth year of education required before sitting for the CPA Exam.

The FICPA Educational Foundation works to ensure the integrity and success of the accounting profession in Florida. Founded in 1959 as the R. Warner Ring Educational Foundation, it has distributed more than $2 million dollars to colleges and accounting students across the state.
