Congregation Neveh Shalom was one of 1,190 teams that brought more than 47,000 breast cancer survivors and activists to walk or run in the 16th Annual Portland Komen Race for the Cure on Sept. 23, raising an estimated $3 million to support breast cancer research.

Several Portland-area congregations fielded teams for the annual event, which raises funds to battle a disease to which many Jewish women have a genetic predisposition.
