Leading up to this 24-hour fundraising event, weโ€™ll share different ways your donations, no matter the size, flow into greater collective impact ๐ŸŒŠ

Letโ€™s start with a moment of appreciation for Soap Creek, whose generous and abundant flow has sustained life in this valley since time immemorial, including the Carsonsโ€™ first homestead in Oregon.

The Letitia Carson Legacy Project is committed to the responsibility of caring for the Soap Creek valley ecosystem as part of our work to honor the legacy of Oregonโ€™s early Black land stewards. Your support during Dam Proud Day helps us maintain our ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ณ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ with sustainable land & water stewardship practices.

For the early birds, early giving starts April 15!
