We had a very successful event on
Saturday August 9, 2025

Walk the Wildwood 2025 was very successful, raising nearly $13,000 to help build 2 new vocational dorms on the campus of Kamwenge Secondary and Vocational School. This was our 4th annual fundraiser for the school. This year, 61 people attended the event walking a 1-mile, 3.5-mile or 7-mile guided route through beautiful Washington and Forest Parks in Portland, Oregon. Participants enjoyed lunch together in Stevens Pavilion following the walks.

In addition to raising building funds, 4 people signed up to become new student champions and we collected over 300 pairs of sneakers through our sneaker drive. We have partnered with GotSneakers? the past 2 years to redistribute used sneakers and keep them out of the landfill as well as earning us additional fundraising dollars.

Many thanks to all that participated, volunteered and/or made donations this year. We hope you will join us next year on Saturday August 8, 2026!
