Fundraising walk
Saturday, September 26, 2026 – Newport High School, Newport, OR
Saturday, October 3, 2026 – Siuslaw Middle School, Florence, OR

Walk in honor, in memory, or for hope - Form a team, walk solo, volunteer Born from the shared vision of local friends and breast cancer survivors Jeanette Campagna and Sonia Graham, the CoastBusters Walk for Breast Cancer was created to inspire hope and give back to the communities that supported them through their healing journeys. Now an annual tradition, the CoastBusters Walk is a 3-mile fundraising event that brings people together to walk in solidarity—rain or shine—at two coastal Oregon locations:

Newport – Last Saturday in September at Newport High School Track

Florence – First Saturday in October at Siuslaw Middle School Track

Proceeds from each walk remain local, supporting individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment by covering non-medical expenses that insurance doesn’t—like gas, groceries, childcare, and more. Funds are administered by trusted partners:

Newport Walk – Pacific Communities Health District Foundation Women’s Cancer Fund and Pink Lemonade Project’s CoastBusters Cares initiative

Florence Walk – Oregon Cancer Foundation

Together, we walk to lift burdens, offer hope, and stand with every person facing breast cancer in our coastal communities. 💗

🎃 Check your pumpkins for lumpkins! 🎀

Halloween is all about tricks, treats, and a little spooky fun. But when it comes to breast health, don't ignore the signs!

Get to know what's normal for your body, keep up with recommended breast cancer screenings, and talk with your healthcare provider if you notice a new lump or any unusual changes.

Whether you're celebrating in costume, handing out candy, caring for someone you love, or simply enjoying the season, remember to make time for your health, too.

Because taking care of yourself is always worth it! 💗

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy Halloween from CoastBusters Walk!

💗 A reminder for every woman: Your breast health matters.

Whether you've experienced breast cancer, have a loved one who's been diagnosed, or have never faced a diagnosis, it's important to make your health a priority.

Here are a few ways to be proactive about your breast health:

🎀 Know your body. Pay attention to changes in the appearance or feel of your breasts.

🎀 Don't ignore changes.A new lump, skin dimpling, ni**le changes, or unusual discharge are reasons to contact a healthcare professional. Many breast changes aren't cancer, but it's important to get them checked.

🎀 Stay up to date with screenings. Talk with your healthcare provider about the screening schedule that's right for your age, health history, and individual risk.

🎀 Speak up about concerns. You don't have to wait for your next screening if you notice a new or unusual change.

And remember, breast cancer can occur even without a family history.

At CoastBusters, we're here to remind our community that caring for ourselves matters, too. Share this post with someone you love. A simple reminder could encourage someone to take that next step for their health. 💗

A local group. A global impact.

Knitted Knockers are soft, lightweight breast prostheses made by volunteer knitters and crocheters for people who have had a mastectomy or lumpectomy.

Our regional volunteer group has been doing this work since 2016 and has provided 16,724 pairs of Knitted Knockers. In the past two years alone, they have donated 200 pairs to CoastBusters for people in our coastal communities.

Every pair is provided free of charge.
