About Heaven Can Wait 5K

Heaven Can Wait 5k has reached an incredible milestone in serving our community for more than 25 years. Since 2000, this community celebration has been raising funds for Sara’s Project, a St. Charles Foundation initiative which provides education, early detection and support services to ease the challenges of breast cancer for people in Central and Eastern Oregon. 

Over the years, this event has raised over $1.75M to provide love, support and compassion for breast cancer patients and their families. In 2025, we hope to raise an additional $25K in donations for patient support programs.

In addition to participating in Heaven Can Wait 5k, please consider creating your own fundraiser either as an individual or a team and draw on the power of your collective network of friends and families to help us reach our goal.

Please check out or Virtual Fundraising Page Toolkit for some helpful tips and info.
