Amidst threats of temperatures in the high 90's and smoke in the air, our 13th Annual SHOC Walk & Run was blessed with Sherie's presence and the morning turned out to be beautiful, with a temperature in the mid-70's, sunny and smoke-free! It was another great turnout this year with over 550 joining in. Thanks to all survivors, volunteers, donors, sponsors and participants who join us and helped make this event another success for SHOC! We look forward to seeing you in 2018...on the First Saturday in August.

SHOC's Annual Gift to OHSU
|
On Monday, December 19, 2016, the SHOC Foundation presented its annual gift to Dr. Tanja Pejovic in the amount of $80,000. These funds are directly used for her ovarian and gynecologic cancer research lab at OHSU, with the hope that an early detection indicator can be found. This brings the total gifted to $810,000 over 12 years. This is another milestone for us and we are excited to share this great news with you. Thank you for your continued interest in helping us make a difference!
