We had SO MUCH FUN presenting brains and art and all volunteer community outreach in our Portland community this June with the incomparable p:ear gala emcee POISON WATERS!!!

This year, p:ear turns 18!

On June 19th, we will celebrate p:ear’s 18 years of working with Portland’s homeless youth with a content-rich Virtual Gala featuring local celebrities (Congressman Earl Blumenauer, Liz Gilbert of Eat Pray Love, Portugal. The Man, host Poison Waters, and auctioneer Johnna Wells) and the vibrant voices of our community.

p:ear believes every young person deserves a place where they are nurtured and encouraged to grow: a sheltering sky that inspires curiosity and is fueled by hope and grounded in love. During the Covid-19 Crisis, our work with youth continues. We are their sheltering sky.

Join us for this momentous occasion! pearblossoms “My Sheltering Sky”
