Special thanks to our Team Playworks captain and board chair Brian Berchtold. Brian is once again running to raise funds for Playworks after having to stop just short of the Boston Marathon finish line due to the tragic bombings in April. Join Brian and Team Playworks – set up your own fundraising page or simply make a donation in support of Playworks! More of Brian’s story was featured in the Portland Business Journal and KATU news.
Please make your plans to join us at the 2013 Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon, and please notify any friends or family who may be interested in any of the three opportunities above!
