Oregon Shores’ Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run

The Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition will hold it second annual Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run fundraising event from Aug. 30 through Sept. 8. This initiative offers friends of the Oregon coast an opportunity to participate in a challenge and solicit support from their friends and family.

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 the group’s supporters to rally friends, family, and colleagues who may be unfamiliar with Oregon Shores.

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

Here’s a breakdown of what participants will do:

• Walk or run a minimum of three miles (just under five 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 Givebutter campaign page (https://givebutter.com/Surf_Sun) as team members, making it easy for supporters to contribute to them directly.
