The 2024 Dream Forward Gala is a benefit for the Portland Rose Festival Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, supporting its mission to provide quality, family-friendly events and programs that promote the arts, education and volunteerism. There is no cost to participate in online bidding - everyone can join in the fun!

We're excited to be hosting our in-person event on Friday, October 11, 2024 at 6:00pm at AVenue Portland. The event will feature a reception, hosted wine & beer, 3-course dinner, bidding on live auction packages (in-person bidding only) and a paddle raise appeal. Tables of 10 are available for purchase here. In-person event registrants can also purchase their raffle tickets in advance:

ALASKA AIR RAFFLE TICKETS - $100 each for a chance to win a pair of round-trip tickets to any Alaska Airlines destination
