Have you been itching to revive that neon pink '80s jacket, rock out to a Latino DJ, or sip wine at the Dandy Warhols’ hallowed Odditorium? Now’s your chance to do all three as you support these game-changing local nonprofits at their upcoming fall fundraising events. 

Adelante Mujeres’ La Lucha

5–8 p.m.. Thur Sept 19, Wieden+Kennedy, FREE, All ages

Celebrate Latinx Month (September 15 to October 15) at Adelante Mujeres and Wieden+Kennedy’s free La Lucha (“The Fight”) bash featuring a Latinx art exhibit, Latina-crafted delicacies from spots like Tacomania and Churros Locos, and a panel discussion with Adelante Mujeres staff members. Spanish for “Women Rise Up,” the nonprofit enables Latinas, from preschool aged kiddos to adults, to learn skills like how to prepare for college, improve English language abilities, obtain a GED, and develop entrepreneurial skills.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls AMP Awards

Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls is proud to present the 2019 AMP Awards, featuring live music by Portland’s own The Rachel Brashear Trio. Trade in your '80s outfit for skinny jeans and a leather jacket at the rock ‘n’ roll themed Odditorium, recording studio of Portland indie royalty the Dandy Warhols. Proceeds from the VIP wine pre-party, Rock Art Raffle, silent auction, and karaoke after-party all benefit rock ‘n’ roll camps that teach girls and women how to play instruments, collaborate with bandmates, and find their voices through songwriting and live performance. The event will also honor Katherine Paul (KP), former RNRC4G camper turned Board President, also known as Black Belt Eagle Scout. And don’t forget your chance to bid on a slick MBM electric guitar autographed by Sean Lennon (son and protege of music legend John Lennon and Yoko Ono).
