2022 Oregon Energy Fund Benefit

Saturday, October 29, 2022
Doors open at 5:30 PM

The Sentinel Hotel
614 SW 11th Avenue, Portland, Oregon

Please join us for an evening Beneath the Stars as we celebrate 32 years of powering lives! The evening will feature a cocktail hour, live music, delicious Northwest cuisine, live auctions, and more!

We Oregonians love to get off the grid, whether it's watching the sun set on the coast or the stars floating over the desert in Eastern Oregon. But for many Oregonians, getting off the grid isn't a vacation; it's a harsh reality.

Proceeds from the event will support Oregon Energy Fund’s mission to strengthen household stability by assisting Oregonians in financial crisis with their energy bills.
