2023 4K4Community Fun Run Recap

In the heart of Portland, over 400 dedicated Portlanders defied the drizzling rain, laced up their sneakers, and came together for a shared mission to support local nonprofits at the forefront of promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the tech and education sectors. The result? An impressive $12,500 was raised for POIC + RAHS. We extend our heartfelt thank you to everyone who braved the weather to celebrate and support our community.

Making Every Step Count

What sets 4k4Community apart from other charity run/walks is its unwavering commitment to making every step count. When participants registered for the event, 100% of registration fees are earmarked for a good cause – it's 100% tax-deductible. This unique approach ensures that every dollar raised during the event directly fuels the critical work of our organization to make our community more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

Sponsors that Spark Change
