Hey Friends!

You’re going to be seeing a lot of posts from me over the next few months asking for volunteers, and I’m so excited to share why! I’ve teamed up with some AMAZING non-profits (A Caring Closet, HOPE Dementia Support, Alzheimer's Association - Oregon & Southwest Washington Chapter) to help coordinate volunteers for their big annual fundraisers in the Spring of 2025. If you're looking for a fun way to give back and make a difference, this is your chance! 💜

Whether you’re interested in volunteering or just want to attend as a guest, both are wonderful ways to support these causes. If you're already planning to attend, you're making an impact simply by being there—so feel free to relax and enjoy the event!

Let’s make these events unforgettable together! 💫 If you're interested in volunteering at the Wh***ey W**e & Wheelchairs Event in February 2025, click the link below to see what we need some help with:
