Walk for the Cause
Walk for the Cause is the Soroptimist International of Albany's annual fundraiser held at the Linn County Courthouse in Albany, Oregon. The event focuses on raising funds for detection and treatment of breast cancer and on providing support services for other diseases affecting women. The 2026 edition marks the event's 31st anniversary and continues a multi-year effort to direct proceeds to local needs.
The event program includes a Walk/Run component and the traditional 5K course. Registration is available online and in person at the event, with a registration deadline listed as October 2, 2026. A raffle drawing takes place during the event; winners do not need to be present to claim prizes and raffle tickets can be pre-ordered at registration, offered as five tickets for $20.
T-shirt fulfillment is managed in advance with a guarantee for orders placed before September 15, 2026, and pickup scheduled on the days immediately before the event as well as on-site. Organizers publish route and event information, fundraising tips, printable forms, and volunteer opportunities as part of the event materials. The Walk for the Cause reports that all proceeds remain in the local area to support medical treatment and related expenses for women in the community.
