The Center Foundation, Central Oregon's only nonprofit dedicated to providing sports medicine services to high school students, is working hard to expand its program to Bend's newest high school. The Foundation has launched the Campaign for Caldera fundraising campaign to support the addition of a full-time athletic trainer for Caldera High School, scheduled to open in the fall of 2021. "Less than half of Oregon high schools have access to athletic trainers, even though the research is clear that certified athletic trainers can save lives, reduce injury rates and improve injury outcomes," said Sonja Donohue, Executive Director for The Center Foundation. "Right now, The Center Foundation provides athletic trainers to seven Central Oregon high schools, serving more than 5,000 student athletes at over 1,400 sporting events each year. Adding to this important program requires additional funding, so we are asking our community for their help keeping our children act

Bounded by the Deschutes River, Highway 97, Deschutes River Woods and the Old Mill District, Southwest Bend is known for its beautiful homes, quiet nature and plethora of parks. Predominantly a residential area, the neighborhood s sidewalks and walking paths invite dog walkers, runners, cyclists and park goers to mix and mingle while enjoying the outdoors.
