Track Town is for Kids - June 2026

Over 700 local kids and their families got the chance to experience the NCAA Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field!

Each child received a brand-new Duck shirt, a bag full of snacks, and a ticket to one of the premier track and field events in the world. Moments like these are what The Hope Project is all about—bringing our community together and creating opportunities for local families to make lasting memories.

None of this would have been possible without an incredible team of partners and supporters:

🏃 University of Oregon
🏃 Oregon Track & Field
🏃 NCAA Track & Field
🏃 Nike
🏃 Willamalane Park and Recreation District
🏃 Springfield School District
🏃 University of Oregon Concessions

And a special shoutout to UOPD Thor for helping make the day even more memorable!

Bringing the community together is our goal, and we're grateful to everyone who helped make this experience possible.
