Just like all of our races, we have a beneficiary that we donate to. For the Firelane Trail Trial, we felt that it was relevant to support a local firefighting non-profit organization and have chosen Portland Metro Fire Camp.
Portland Metro Fire Camp is a hands-on camp, run by professional female firefighters. Each day campers participate in vehicle extrication, hose handling skills, search & rescue operations, chainsaw operation, and many other firefighting activities all while being supported and encouraged by other women who were once in their shoes. PMFC now caters to young women ages 16 -22 and focuses on building confidence, leadership, encouraging teamwork, collaboration, and ensuring that firefighting and other male-dominated careers are seen as the wonderful career options they are for young women. https://www.portlandmetrofirecamp.com/
