Oregon Shores’ Surf and Sun Virtual Walk and Run

Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition is excited to announce Oregon Shores' second annual Surf and Sun Virtual Walk and Run fundraising event. This initiative offers friends of the Oregon coast an opportunity to participate in a challenge and solicit support from their friends and family.

The event will take place from August 30 to September 8. During this time, participants will be encouraged to walk or run as many miles as possible, embracing the spirit of adventure and the satisfaction of making a difference. What sets this event apart is the chance for our supporters to rally friends, family, and colleagues who may be unfamiliar with Oregon Shores. By securing donations, participants can amplify their impact and provide essential support to Oregon Shores' critical conservation work.

By participating in this event, you will help raise awareness and generate vital funds for Oregon Shores' mission to educate, engage, and empower people to protect our coastal ecosystems, landscapes, and communities.

Here's a breakdown of what participants will do:

Walk or run a minimum of 3 miles (just under 5 kilometers) on the coast or other natural public lands, getting your steps in and enjoying the outdoors while supporting coastal conservation.

Encourage friends to honor their walk or run by donating to Oregon Shores in support of the miles they run or walk. Participants will join our Givebutter campaign page as team members, making it easy for supporters to contribute to them directly.

Complete the registration form, including a $25 donation, to join. As a token of appreciation for everyone’s commitment to preserving our coastal ecosystems, participants will receive an exclusive Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run long or short sleeved athletic t-shirt, which will serve as a reminder of their accomplishment and dedication to the cause. Sign up before August 15 to receive your shirt before the start of the event.
