All proceeds will benefit two non-profit charities: Fences For Fido, and the Feral Cat Coalition, who don’t receive as much attention and donations as other larger animal assistance organizations, but do important and necessary work in the community nonetheless. Fences For Fido eases the frustration and loneliness of dogs living a chained existence through volunteers building fences and dog houses for families at no cost: “Un-Chain one dog at a time.” The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon provides spay and neutering services. In addition to surgery performed by licensed veterinarians, the cats receive basic medical care including vaccinations. This unique gala will continue the tradition of "Keeping Portland Weird" by asking all attendees, including staff and entertainers, to come wearing their most creative lampshades on their heads at this jubilant gala expected to draw over 800 people. Prizes will awarded for the most original and creative lampshades. Prize baskets are filled with products and services donated from various local businesses. One of the events ancillary goals is to set world record for the most people wearing a lampshade on their heads at one huge gathering.
Raffle prizes include autographed custom Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar of Jimmie Vaughan and autographed cymbals form legendary drummer Chris Layton, along with amazing dinners for four at several local restaurants.
