Ravens on the Run is a group of 12 high school students committed to raising money for cancer research. The team was formed in 2012 with the hope that if they raised enough money, they could have one of the American Cancer Society’s Hood to Coast Relay entries.  That year, they organized the 1st Annual Running Over Cancer 5K (ROC5K). It was a huge success. More than 200 people came out, and the team raised over $8,000 for the American Cancer Society. With growing support, the group did it again the next year. It was an even greater success with more participants and even more money raised for cancer research, cancer patient and family support, and education and prevention.

Now, it has become an annual tradition passed down to other Ravenscroft students that are just as passionate in the fight against cancer.  By raising these funds and committing to give all of our fundraising dollars to the American Cancer Society, our team has the opportunity to participate in the Hood to Coast Relay from the peak of Mt. Hood in Oregon all the way to the Oregon coast this August.  We will each run three legs over the course of about 30 hours, and in the end, we will have completed this 199-mile “Mother of All Relays.”  

Last year, the Ravens on the Run Team raised over $118,000 for the American Cancer Society.  To date, we have raised well over $1,000,000! 

We invite you to join us this year to help us support the work of the American Cancer Society.  By donating, you will be a part of the story of success for our team, and more importantly, you will be helping the American Cancer Society to continue its incredible mission.
