About Relay for Life®
Relay For Life®, the American Cancer Society’s signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ® events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors’ lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease.

About Goodwill of the Columbia Willamette
You might still think of Goodwill as just a thrift store. But our business is really about changing lives — offering free job-search assistance to the single mother on welfare, employing a person who has limited work history in one of our stores or donation centers, or helping a recent immigrant learn English.
In 2007, our retail business turned 136.3 million pounds of used clothes and household goods into $83.2 million in sales revenues. We also transformed your donations into employment and other vocational services for 17,934 people.
About Tire Disposal & Recycling (TDR)
Beginning in July of 1998, Tire Disposal and Recycling, Inc (TDR) purchased Waste Recovery, Inc.’s (WRI) Western tire collection operations. Our major focus is the collection and processing of scrap tires from generators located in Western Oregon, all of Washington, and all of Idaho. Together, the old WRI operations and the now TDR operations have recycled and/or properly disposed of over 120 million scrap tires since January of 1983. That amount is an equivalent of nearly 75% of the Northwest’s regional scrap tire generation for the last 20 years, or the equivalent of more than 34 years total generation for the state of Oregon. Included in these numbers are approximately 9 million scrap tires from stockpile cleanups where the team was contracted to remove, transport, and recycle or dispose of the tires from at least 30 previously permitted, illegal, and/or indiscriminate piles in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
