Description
Who We Are:
Friends of the Children-Portland pairs the highest priority youth in our community with a paid, professional mentor from kindergarten through high school graduation - at least 12.5 years, no matter what.
Steps for ChangePDX:
On July 17, we will walk for our youth and honor this 12.5-year commitment. Steps for ChangePDX, our first Virtual Walk/Run fundraising event, is a celebration of our youth and a challenge to create change - small changes that support each child, and big changes that create access to opportunities and build hope for all children. Join us by getting up, getting active, and giving back! Whether it's walking, running, biking, or skipping, we want our community to get off the screen and get active!
Register for Steps for ChangePDX by June 21 to receive your event shirt before July 17. Folks who register after June 21 will receive their shirt after the event.
TShirt Pick Up
TShirts and other event swag can be picked on July 10 from 9 am - 12 pm and July 16 from 3 pm - 6 pm. Both options will be located at the Friends of the Children-Portland headquarters' parking lot located at 65 NE Stanton St. Portland, OR 97212. Priority will be given to folks who signed up before June 21, but we will hand out the extras that we have to registered participants. TShirts will be shipped to participants who requested that option during registration. If you have questions please email rlombino@friendspdx.org.
How It Works:
Sign up for a 12.5K, 5K, or 1 mile event. On Saturday, July 17, choose one of our routes (or set your own) and track your progress to your target distance. Registrants will receive a Steps for ChangePDX t-shirt, a curated event playlist, and suggested routes for the big day. Buy a raffle ticket for a chance to win an exciting prize!
Please make sure you opt in for emails from Run SignUp during the registration process. This will help you stay informed and up to date about this event!
