Many thanks to THE BIG FLOAT sponsors for helping make it easier to get into the river.

We collaborate with local partners and other City Bureaus to bring together the people and resources necessary to improve the health and economy of our waterways. We strive to achieve Portland’s goals of clean and healthy rivers; a prosperous working harbor; vital waterfronts; and strong river partnerships. The Portland Mercury KINK-FM

Columbia Sportswear There’s no telling how many boots, coats, hats, shirts, pants and other forms of outdoor gear have been worn in Columbia Sportswear’s 70 years of business.
