MAF Week is a special time each year, including the annual Spin-A-Thon, and is our fundraiser that fuels access for youth to participate in athletics and education. Join us for a week of dynamic events, meaningful conversations, and collective movement. Everyone is welcome – MAC members, guests, family, community, colleagues, teammates, and even businesses!

The Spin-A-Thon has been a fundraiser for the Multnomah Athletic Foundation for many years. It started as the active way to provide funding for the grant and scholarship programs. And, we expanded to MAF Week to include and encourage participation by more people!

Join us for one event or everything!

All the proceeds go directly into the community to get kids moving, learning and dreaming about the future. The Foundation’s board of directors underwrite the expenses to make this promise a reality.
