Healing Hearts 5k & 10k Returns to Oregon City

Angels in the Outfield is a nonprofit that supports children who were victims of abuse and crime. It launched in 2009 and is approaching a milestone: 1,000 children's have been clothed, fed or otherwise cared for thanks to the funds raised through events like the Healing Hearts 5 & 10K.
