Field Day, an online platform that powers volunteer events and programs, today announced the 4K4Community Fun Run, taking place at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 and starting and finishing at the OMSI campus in Portland.
The 4 km (2.49 mi) running and walking event raises funds to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in tech and education, with POIC + Rosemary Anderson High School as this year’s nonprofit beneficiary. The 4K4Community is a continuation of the 4K 4Charity Fun Run series, which Portland-based AWS Elemental started in 2014 and concluded in 2021. Through the Portland-based run and other events held globally, the series raised more than $1.3 million in gross proceeds for nonprofits focused on increased diversity and inclusion in technology.
