90by30 launches ‘5,000 Strong’ campaign
Statistics
show
that
24,000 children, or one in
three kids, in Lane Coun-
ty have experienced abuse
or neglect in their lives,
adversely impacting their
ability to learn, connect
and thrive. 90by30 is a Lane
County initiative managed
by the University of Ore-
gon’s College of Education
with the goal of “reducing
child abuse in Lane Coun-
ty by 90 percent by the year
2030.”
Florence and surround-
ing communities comprise
West Lane Region of the
county. Since 2018, the
West Lane Regional Lead-
ership Team has initiated a
number of successful proj-
ects aimed at reducing child
abuse in our local commu-
nities. To date the majority
of funding has come from
grants and private dona-
tions. The projects are run
by local volunteers.
In order to continue de-
livering its current projects
and to initiate new projects,
90by30 is launching the
5,000 Strong Campaign.
5,000 Strong is comprised
of individuals, businesses,
faith communities, non-
profits and organizations
across Lane County who
make a commitment to take
action that will help make
Lane County a place where
kids are safe and families
are supported. The purpose
of the campaign is two-
fold: to increase awareness
of 90by30 and its projects
throughout Lane County,

Child abuse is prevented
when kids are connected,
families are supported and
community members take
positive action. We can all
play our part to reduce child
abuse in West Lane. 90by30
welcomes your participa-
tion in the 5,000 Strong
Campaign, at whatever lev-
el. Your contribution will
help ensure that our proj-
ects continue to thrive, ben-
efiting all kids and families.
The community is invit-
ed to consider making a gift
of $100 a year to support
90by30’s current and up-
coming projects. A dona-
tion of $100 a year amounts
to about $9 per month and
will make you part of the
5000 Strong Team. We also
value one-time gifts. Dona-
tions can be made at friend-
sof90by30.org. You can
stipulate that your dona-
tion is for the 5,000 Strong
Campaign and that you
want your gift to be used to
support programs specifi-
cally in West Lane region.
Ninety percent of dollars
raised stay in this region.
The remaining 10 percent
will be used to support ad-
ministrative costs to run the
campaign.
Together we can make
West Lane a safe, healthy
place for our children. For
