We are thrilled to announce that El Programa Hispano will be hosting our first ¡Viva la Vida! Walk-A-Thon. This event will happen on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at Gresham’s Main City Park and will bring together over 300 individuals and families to engage in physical activity and raise awareness about health disparities affecting Latine families.

Proceeds from the event will go to support our Community Wellness and UNICA programs, which offer services to seniors 60 and older, families experiencing food insecurity, and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.

Registration opens on May 15!
