Our First Community Fundraiser!
Thursday, October 26, 2023
6-8pm
@ Yo Soy Candle, 724 NE 22nd Ave, Portland OR 97232
Sip, Shop, Create and Support Portland Families!
Help us end the maternal health crisis! Join Portland New Family Fund for a fun, rejuvenating, and creative evening at Yo Soy Candle / The Candle Creation Bar and support local women/birthers and their babies.
Your ticket includes:
-
All materials and guidance to create a custom-scented, affirmation soy candle to take home.
-
VIP shopping access to unique artisans: Yo Soy Candle, Amy Olson Jewelry and Torrain Recycled Bags.
-
Local treats from vegan Shoofly Bakery, wine from woman-owned Ora et Labora and Mac Wines, and N/A bevvies.
This is so much more than a fun night with like-minded friends, it's a chance to make a difference! Proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Portland New Family Fund to support PNFF birth & postpartum doula programs for low-income Portland parents. Additionally, 10% of all in-store sales during the event will be donated to PNFF. U.S. Women are 3-times as likely to experience death or serious complications during and immediately following childbirth than women in other wealthy nations. While Black U.S. women are 3-4-times as likely as white women to experience these negative impacts. Doula care is an immediate way to mitigate these poor outcomes for our birthers and their babies.
Can't make the event, but still want to contribute to the cause? Donate here
