Business sponsors keep boots dirty and air clean
By Melissa Barber
As we wrap up another planting season, all of us here at Friends of Trees can take a moment to look back, celebrate our successes, and be thankful for all of our supporters. This slide show features the many plantings that local businesses sponsored this year.
We are fortunate to have so many great contributing members and supportive project partners. With the close of our planting season I would like to take a moment to thank a unique group of supporters specific to our plantings: business sponsors.
Our business sponsors go above and beyond their financial dedication to our restoration work. They recruit and organize hundreds of volunteers, help us raise awareness for the importance of planting trees, and often donate food to keep all our volunteers energized on planting day.
Please help us thank our business sponsors by supporting their local businesses:
- Adidas
- Backyard Bird Shop
- Becker Capital Management
- Cantel Sweeping
- Collier Arbor Care
- Epson
- HSBC Bank USA, N.A.
- IKEA
- J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co.
- NW Natural
- Oregon Soap Company
- The Oregonian
- Portland General Electric
- Port of Portland
