L'Arche Portland's Benefit Celebration is our organization's largest fundraising event of the year. During the event, attendees enjoy a silent auction, wine wall, "Party Packs" to create an at-home viewing party, paddle raises, and more. In addition to supporting our mission financially, guests will hear musical performances and testimonials from people with and without intellectual disabilities from all relationships with L'Arche Portland. House residents, caregivers, family members, community members, and administrative staff will all share the impact of our organization on their lives and the wider area.

After we pivoted to a virtual event last year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we found that we reached a broader audience through a more inclusive and accessible event format. This year, we're excited to host an event in the same virtual format so we can all celebrate community and belonging for people with and without intellectual disabilities together. Proceeds from Benefit Celebration directly support the mission of L'Arche Portland.
