PPF's Spring 2023 Friends and Allies Summit

3721 Southeast Ankeny Street,Portland OR 97214

18 May, 2023

Description

Join us for an inspirational evening at the Laurelhurst Club where we will celebrate nominees for the Parks Champion award and the Joey Pope Award for Parks Leadership. As the weather warms and skies clear, it’s time to gather and celebrate the neighbors and community organizations who are working hard to make Portland’s parks and green spaces special, accessible, and more equitable season after season. This is an opportunity for you to meet your fellow parks leaders, local park volunteers, community builders, advocates, and simply the people who are making parks better! The Portland Parks Foundation, in partnership with PP&R, is bringing our parks communities together on Thursday, May 18, 5:00-7:30 PM at the Laurelhurst Club to recognize your impact, share your stories, and connect with each other. At the summit, we’ll introduce you to all the nominees for PPF’s Parks Champion and the Joey Pope Award for Parks Leadership and announce the 2023 honorees. Speakers will include City of Portland’s Commissioner of Culture and Livability, Dan Ryan, and storytelling from local parks activators and initiators. This year, we have extended the evening program for more time for social gathering and connection - so bring a fun colleague, come early and stay late! --- These are free events that are open to anyone who supports Portland’s parks. We will provide food, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks. Masks are optional. Street Parking is available near the Laurelhurst Club located at 3721 SE Ankeny St, Portland, OR 97214.
