Once Upon a Tree: A gala not to be missed!
This year Friends of Trees turns 25 years old. In a quarter century, we’ve planted more than a half a million trees with over 100,000 volunteers!
We feel this is cause for celebration.
On September 27, we’re commemorating 25 years of Friends of Trees with a community storytelling celebration and auction gala at the Exchange Ballroom. We’re calling it Once Upon a Tree: 25 Years and Growing.
It promises to be a memorable evening of interactive performances by celebrated humorists, poets, and storytellers, including dinner and some jaw-dropping auction packages. Storytelling extraordinaire Courtenay Hameister, Head writer for Live Wire! Radio, will be our emcee for the evening.
After the program, a rooftop celebration will feature a Ninkasi beer garden and live music with incredible views of the city, the river, and Forest Park.
Come celebrate with us! Tickets are $100 or you can host a table of 10 for $1,000. To RSVP, call (503) 467-2512 or visit www.friendsoftrees.org/25years. Tickets are going fast, so reserve your seat today.
Once Upon a Tree is presented by Ninkasi Brewing Company with generous sponsorship support from Port of Portland, J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co., Neil Kelly, NW Natural and Whole Foods.
