Thank You for Joining us to Celebrate Mid-Century Modern

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our MCM Design Celebration this past weekend.
It was SO MUCH FUN to gather in-person! Thank you for coming out! We hope you found the event fun and educational. Our goal was to inspire you to save old places and seek out Oregon's cultural heritage.

This event also served at our first in-person fundraiser in three years. Thank you for joining us! Your participation helped us raise over $10,000 this weekend. Individual donors and supporters like you make up the bulk of our revenue. Thank you for making our work possible.

Proceeds from this event will support Restore Oregon’s preservation and educational programming, and help us continue to fulfill our mission to preserve, reuse and pass forward the historic places and spaces that reflect Oregon’s diverse cultural heritage and make our communities inclusive, vibrant, liveable and sustainable.

Special thanks to Jeff Weithman, Paul McKean & homeowners Aaron Cain & Annie Wong who made this event possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your time and generosity.

And, thank you to our event sponsors Jupiter Hotel and Bramske Studio!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
