 support leap & support local

Many of the businesses that make our city a vibrant and wonderful place to live have been impacted by the recent and on-going shutdowns. At LEAP, we know that it is more important than ever to support one another during this challenging time and have organized the PDX Scavenger Hunt to encourage responsible engagement and exploration of our community — while also supporting empowering wilderness programs.

We’re excited to announce the new date for this big event and invite you to join us in July! Please read the RULES & DIRECTIONS and HOW TO FUNDRAISE sections below. Register here to sign up!
