MAF Week is a special time each year, including the annual Spin-A-Thon, is our fundraiser that fuels access for youth to participate in athletics and education. Join us as we come together for community, movement, and a shared purpose. Everyone is welcome – MAC members, friends, family, community, colleagues, teammates, and even businesses!
The Spin-A-Thon has been a fundraiser for the Multnomah Athletic Foundation for many years. It serves as a way to provide funding for the grant and scholarship programs. And we expanded to MAF Week to include and encourage participation by more people!
Join us for one event or everything! There will be community service projects throughout the week.
All the proceeds go directly into the community to get kids moving, learning and dreaming about the future. The Foundation’s board of directors underwrite the expenses to make this promise a reality.
It starts with NETWORKING for IMPACT on March 7
A networking mixer to connect, meet nonprofits, and spark change. More details for this new experience coming soon!
The MOVE happens all week from March 7 through 14
The Move is where community can come together to support youth athletics and education. Again this year, we have some new activities planned to bring people together in the spirit of fitness, wellness and learning.
