For the 40+ years we’ve been in business, we’ve always prioritized giving back to our local communities. Starting in Portland, OR and expanding to cities across the West, we’ve forged long-lasting and meaningful partnerships with many organizations in our communities. Below, read about a few recent charity events we’ve had the pleasure of sponsoring.

In Concert for Cancer

The annual In Concert for Cancer event supports the Children’s Cancer Association, bringing people together through live music to raise awareness for and fund initiatives of this organization. This year, we supported the event as the Presenting Sponsor for both the Portland and Seattle concerts.

Members of our teams had the opportunity to attend the show and meet founding members of Chicago, whose new band CTA headlined the event. POA also received recognition in promotions leading up to the concert and during the concert itself. Most importantly, we got to generously back a cause that’s doing good work in our communities.

Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)

We recently partnered with the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle to sponsor its Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction exhibit for the next 5 years. Not only do we get to see our name at the exhibit entrance, on the museum map, and on the MoPOP website, but we also get the opportunity to help bring the iconic culture of science fiction to the masses. Visit MoPOP to explore artifacts from Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Men in Black, and more!

Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare

As this community health organization works to fundraise this holiday season with the help of Willamette Week’s Give!Guide, we’ve also stepped in to help them reach their $10,000 goal. We pledged to match the first $2,500 in donations because know how important it is to support those struggling with mental health, addiction, and homelessness.

Cascadia’s fundraiser runs through the end of December – head over to their Facebook page to keep up with their progress!
