We will begin the evening with a Silent Auction and Cocktail Hour, where guests can socialize and bid on items like luxurious and local Pendleton blankets; Timbers, Blazers, and Ducks game tickets; fishing excursions; wine + beer packages and so much more!

​

The fun keeps rolling as the Live Auction commences during dinner and dessert; with items to bid on, like out of town adventures, exclusive hunting and other sport getaways, and private dining experiences from some of the city's best restaurants!

This year's event benefits one of the Foundation's newest and most anticipated projects, the Gilchrist Wildlife Underpass, a project dedicated to reducing wildlife/car collisions on Highway 97.

SPECIAL APPEAL

SPECIAL APPEAL

GILCHRIST UNDERPASS 

PROJECT

In central Oregon, US Highway 97 cuts across a migration corridor that’s been used by mule deer and elk for centuries. Each year mule deer migrate between their winter range in the desert and their summer home high in the Cascades. This annual trek leads many mule deer to cross Highway 97, resulting in high numbers of collisions with vehicles; further imperiling an already declining population and posing a serious safety risk to the traveling public.

 

The goal of this underpass project is to reduce the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions along key portions of Highway 97, by giving wildlife access to a safe passage structure. The Gilchrist underpass is part of a larger ODOT project adding passing lanes to US 97 north of the town of Gilchrist.

Multnomah Athletic Club Executive Chef, Philippe Boulot is a James Beard award-winning taste bud pioneer, working only with fresh in-season ingredients. His dishes never disappoint, and we are thrilled to be able to serve his mouth watering meals at our event.
