LAKAD PDX is an organization that engages the community to take on movement activities for a cause. In the past, proceeds have supported the building of water systems for indigenous people of Mindanao (Lumad), building community clinics in the Philippines and in Oregon, as well as supporting relief, rehabilitation, and livelihood projects in the Philippines.

All proceeds from our race will go to the Filipino Bayanihan Center, a migrant service center that aims to connect community members to essential resources and their newly established community clinic. The center also partners with the Foundation for Philippine Progress, an organization dedicated to empowering and engaging communities in programs and projects for the Philippines to secure quality health, education, and basic human rights for every Filipino. The Foundation will use funds raised for health related projects and initiatives in the Philippines that would provide relief and rehabilitation to communities impacted by typhoons and volcano eruptions.
