Miles For Midwives is an annual event that brings together those who support quality healthcare for women, pregnant people, and families in our community! This annual fundraiser benefits The Oregon Affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the Oregon Midwifery Council and aims to bring out all ages, genders, and fitness levels for an event of fun and community building. ACNM's and OMC's work helps midwives make a difference in Oregon healthcare through scholarships, educational projects, and legislative action that strengthens midwifery and supports access to healthcare for Oregon birthers and their families.

Every year, 10% of the proceeds from Miles for Midwives is directly donated to a deserving organization that supports women, pregnant people, families, and the professionals who care for them. This year we are donating these proceeds to two grants, one through the Oregon Midwifery Foundation and one through the Oregon ACNM Foundation. These grants help to promot equity within the midwifery community in Oregon by supporting those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color (BIPOC) to enter the midwifery profession.
