 The walk is set to begin at 11 a.m. The Walk-A-Thon benefits the Oregon Chapter of the National Scleroderma Foundation in its efforts to raise awareness, support victims, and fund research for this chronic autoimmune disease.
"Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" will include live entertainment, food, and family activities at The Multnomah Art Center, the Walk-A-Thon’s start and finish, in addition to the 2.8-mile walk (shorter loop also available) through the lovely southwest side of Gabriel Park. Awards will be given for individual and team categories.
Walk-A-Thon participants 14 and older pay a registration of $20 ($25 the day of the walk) and are encouraged to recruit fundraising sponsors to support their walk. A T-shirt will be given to every paid registrant after signing in at the event’s registration table, which opens at 10 a.m.
Call 503-246-0235 to request an advance registration form and pledge sheet, or pre-register online at www.firstgiving.com/scleroderma-oregon. |
