Our Founder has a cowboy history, so our beginnings started with a “cowboy-up for cancer” theme. 100% of the money raised by individuals and teams under the “Bucks to Buck Cancer” goes to the charities we support.

Since we are a not-for-profit corporation, which is authorized under section 501 (c) 3 of the IRS code, all donations are tax deductible.

“What’s raised here, stays here!” is a major theme of our efforts. Your money will go to local research being conducted at OHSU’s Knight Cancer Institute, hospice and children grief counseling through Providence Health services, support for children and their families provided by Candlelighter’s of Oregon and women’s breast cancer support through Breast Friends.

First of all, snowboarders have also been a part of this for many years, along with skiers. It is a race, but winning is based upon matching the team’s collective time from the first day to the final runs on the second day of competition. Therefore, it’s not about how fast you are, but how consistent you perform.

Absolutely, give us a call, or register on-line under “individual”. We will make up a team with you and others, giving you a chance to get to know some new friends who share your interest in doing something that is “serious fun”! If you are short some for a team, go ahead and register as a team, let us know, and we will fill in the number needed.

The success of this event is greatly dependent on volunteers before, during, and after each year’s effort. Give us a call at 971-275-5690, or email cancerskiout@gmail.com and we will find a way to use your talents. Don’t forget we will put your donations to good use!!

We have added the Oregon Cancer Bike Out (mountain biking) , Golf to Give and we want to be a vital part of any effort that is going to raise money to fight cancer. One major condition: This is about raising funds for charity! Let us know what you have in mind and we will explore it with you and others who may wish to be involved.

We have a very active, out-spoken Board of Directors, who wants to hear what you have to say. They are listed under the “who are we” section. You can also write to cancerskiout@gmail.com.
