Self Enhancement Inc (SEI) kicked off its third annual Here & Now Gala with a behind-the-scenes tour of the twenty-seven-year-old North Portland academy. With the sightseeing complete, the 350 patrons focused their attention on the evening’s live auction, in which bidders vied for a four-day excursion to Sonoma Valley and a one-week vacation at a Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, beach house. The jam-packed night tallied more than $100,000 for the program.
