Imagine yourself in the passenger seat of a race car, being driven around Portland International Raceway, barely controlling your bodily functions, and all as a charity benefit for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital?

This year is the 28th annual Doernbecher Dash by Cascade Sports Car Club. Every year, CSCC raises donations through the silent auction, race car rides, and additional solicitations. Doernbecher patients and their families are invited to join us at the racetrack, receive lunch and event shirts, and be entertained by Jolly Molly the Clown and Creature Feature’s reptile show.

My favorite part is the exotic car rides! Every year I am fortunate to give “enhanced” rides in an exotic car. (Yes, the larger the donation, the higher the speed!) Last year my daughter got her first ride in a PURPLE Miata driven by DADDY! Still one of my favorite days of my life.

August 18 and 19, Saturday and Sunday, from 9am to 5pm.

Free admission, free fun, and free racing!
