IBEW Local 280 represents more than 1,900 members covering Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Lane, Linn, Benton, Crook, Jefferson, and Deschutes counties. One of the IBEW's primary missions is to organize and support all workers in the electrical industry.

These designs were made in association with EC Electric, who had the opportunity to sponsor a team for IBEW Local 280 to run the Hood to Coast Relay. The Hood To Coast Relay is the most popular and largest running and walking relay race in the world, annually drawing participants from over 40 countries and all 50 states.
