The event will benefit several area organizations that help children. The goal is to raise $1,000,000 for vital outreach, treatment, and prevention programs for children and families served by New Avenues for Youth and Trillium Family Services. Our dedicated volunteers, sponsors and donors have been generous and creative in securing countless donations of goods and services to help us reach this goal.

New Avenues for Youth is a Portland non-profit organization whose mission is to help homeless teens find permanent alternatives to street life. Trillium Family Services is a union of three agencies: Children's Farm Home, Waverly Children's Home, and Parry Center for Children, all of which provide comprehensive care to seriously mentally and emotionally disturbed children and their families.
