donate
If you are making a per mile pledge please fill out the form below and we will let you know the amount of your donation once the event finishes.
Unlike most “run for a cause” events, each participant in the Oakland to Portland challenge is running for the cause of their choice. Each athlete gets a place on the website (www.oaklandtoportland.org) to tell about their reasons for running, and fundraises for their own cause. Donations, or sponsors, are given in one of two ways, a single donation or a per mile sponsor. The per mile sponsor is preferred due to its motivational nature. For example, should you want to support a participant you might sponsor them at a rate of 10 cents per mile. Should he/she cover all 830 miles your donation would be $83.00. But should they only make it 700 miles your donation would be $70.00. All charitable donations are to be collected after the event. 80% of all funds go directly to the chosen cause, 20% towards event organization.
