This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we need your help in raising money to support Oregon families impacted by Sickle Cell and to bring much needed awareness about SIckle Cell. We will also feature a Community Marketplace with local artists and vendors with unique offerings and incredible art.

Table Registration: Are you a local artist or a community nonprofit and would like to have a table at the community marketplace? Submit our online interest form and someone from our team will respond to you.

Sickle Cell Warrior Recognition: At the start of the walk, we are honoring Sickle Cell Warriors and paying tribute to those who have passed on.
