Annual Events

Bringing community together

Throughout the year, the Oregon Cancer Foundation brings our community together. Some of our events raise the funds that keep local support and financial assistance going. Others are a chance to celebrate survivors, honor those we've lost, learn from experts, or simply have fun with neighbors who understand.

From a spring gathering to an 80's-themed 5K to a year-end push to help families through the holidays, there's a place for everyone, whether you're facing cancer yourself, caring for someone who is, or looking for a way to give back. Come as you are. You'll find you're not alone.

There are many ways to get involved.

To find the opportunity that fits you best, contact us at events@oregoncancerfoundation.org.
