Event Manager 
Raindrops for Refuge is managing and benefiting from this event. Forty percent of your registration fee goes directly to Raindrops for Refuge to support the non-profit organization.
Raindrops to Refuge is a small non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating sustainable community actions. We help local citizens learn how to be responsible citizens of their watershed; we restore impaired wetlands and waterways; and we protect our watershed from the hazards of pollution from our everyday practices and from rapid development. Sherwood's position as a key community in Oregon underscores the importance of R2R's presence, as it is the only organization dedicated to protecting Sherwood's watersheds. In order to maintain the quality of life that is currently drawing people to the Sherwood area, the quality of our watersheds must be maintained. Their health is inextricably linked to the beauty and prosperity of this town.
