CoastBusters "Comeback Walk" For 2026

CoastBusters Walk for Breast Cancer, a local nonprofit supporting breast cancer patients and their families in the coastal communities of Lincoln and Lane Counties, is proud to announce its 2026 “Comeback Walk in Memory of Sonia Graham.” (pictured) Following the recent establishment of CoastBusters as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations are now fully tax-deductible, remain local, and go directly to supporting those affected by breast cancer.

Since its founding, CoastBusters has raised nearly $150,000 to help ease the burden of everyday living expenses for local breast cancer patients, allowing them to focus on healing. This year, the organization took a brief pause to mourn the loss of beloved co-founder Sonia

Graham and complete its nonprofit transition. With this milestone achieved, CoastBusters is moving forward stronger than ever.
