Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Sept. 21

At the Susan G. Komen Portland Race for the Cure, you can run, walk, row or for the third year in a row sleep late to raise money for breast cancer awareness, early detection and research.

Join Team Providence, Komen’s largest West Coast team for years, and enjoy the fanfare of the race, the survivor tributes, health expo giveaways and waterfront entertainment. Those who sleep in to support the team will rest easier knowing they’ve done their part in the fight against breast cancer.
