Last week, Nike celebrated the Portland Marathon and our local community with one of their signature employee events – Thirst Thursday.
They welcomed the OHSU Foundation, #DBFreestyle, and other nonprofit partners to help kick off marathon weekend and showcase how employees can volunteer and give.
What an unforgettable weekend at the Daydream Festival at Timberline Lodge! 🏔️☀️ We were stoked to catch up with #DBFreestyle XIX designer Garrett, who shared his inspiring journey and helped hand out awards at the Enduro Bike Race. 🚵🏼
