Sport Oregon Runs Across America
Support our summer fundraiser for the Sport ORegon FOundation and PlAyworks Pacific Northwest!
Team Sport Oregon is competing in Medford2Medford- a 3,452 mile virtual race across America, from Medford Oregon to Medford Massachusetts! Team Sport Oregon got off the start line and began our virtual trek on June 11th, and we have until August 29th to hit 3,452 miles run and walked between our 20 team members. And, we’re not just doing this because we’re a bunch of runners or just plain crazy (well, maybe the guy on our team who can run 80 miles a week is)…we’re doing this to fundraise for two non-profit organizations that make our community a better place to live and play- the Sport Oregon Foundation and Playworks Pacific Northwest. As we virtually say good-bye to the Pacific Northwest and enter the hot and dusty Midwest for the next section of our trek, we need the support of our partners, community members, and friends now more than ever to keep us motivated and make our journey worthwhile. Here’s how you can join the support crew as we run across America:
Make a one-time donation of any amount to our team! Just submit your donation online here!
Make a pledge to match miles- you can pick any runner on our team and donate .25, .50, .75, or more per mile they log on this journey. We’ll do all the math for you, if you’re in, just fill out this form to commit to a per-mile pledge!
If you donate $100 or more, we’ll send you an insulated Sport Oregon water bottle made by Fifty Fifty. This fundraising challenge is as important opportunity for Sport Oregon and Playworks to offset some of the revenue losses experienced this year due to the cancellation of so many of our planned events and programs, so we can come back strong and ready to serve our community again as soon as possible.
We know 2020 has been quite the year for all of us, and we are so appreciative of your support and partnership. Thank you!
