Annual Involvement:

	Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate 1400 SW 5th Ave Suite 530 Portland, OR 97201 503-552-9160 www.komenoregon.org Alpine Mortgage and its employees, friends and family members raised money to support breast cancer research by running in the 2006 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The Komen Race for the Cure Series helps raise awareness of the importance of a positive breast health program – annual mammography beginning at age 40, clinical breast exams at least every three years beginning at age 20 and annually at age 40, and monthly breast self-examinations for all women beginning by age 20. In addition to raising funds, the Komen Race for the Cure Series is committed to educating the public about early detection, the strongest method of surviving this life-threatening disease. The five-year survival rate is 95 percent when the disease is discovered while still confined to the breast.

	March of Dimes Greater Oregon Chapter 115 West 8th Avenue Eugene, OR 97401-6810 (541) 686-2170 www.marchofdimes.com Alpine Mortgage and its employees, friends and family members raise money annually to support the babies by walking annually at the March for Dimes event in Eugene, Oregon. When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.

	Habitat for Humanity Alpine Mortgage and its employees, friends and family members help build houses for Habitat for Humanity each year. Employees are able to take time out of their work day for this cause.
