Attend an Event

Boys & Girls Aid holds a number of fundraising events throughout the year, giving our community a chance to come together, learn more about the organization’s impact, and support youth living in foster care.

Foster Love Gala
Saturday, May 18, 2024
Sentinel Hotel, Downtown Portland

Boys & Girls Aid’s largest fundraiser of the year, the Foster Love Gala brings together attendees from throughout the community for a night of dinner, dancing, bidding, and giving in support of children and youth living in Oregon’s foster care system. Now in its second year, this year’s event, themed “We Are Family,” will celebrate the extraordinary connections that make a family. 

Registration is now open!

Past Events

Thank you for helping raise $47,000 at The Dinner!

For more than two decades, the Cypress Branch Auxiliary of Boys & Girls Aid has hosted one of the community’s most anticipated fundraising events of the year, originally known as The Crab & Rib Dinner. For the event’s 22nd year, we introduced a new name, new look, and new menu. However, the cause remained the same: to bring the community together to benefit the children served by Boys & Girls Aid.

Thank you for continuing to support this event throughout the decades! Thanks to our generous donors, The Dinner raised $47,000, all of which will go directly to support the children and families served by Boys & Girls Aid.

Thank you for meeting the Challenge!

A huge “thank you!” to everyone who took part in Boys & Girls Aid’s Give Thanks Challenge this November! With your help, we raised $40,000, all of which will go directly to supporting Boys & Girls Aid’s efforts to find permanent, lifelong connections for children and youth growing up without a family. Your contributions made an important impact on the lives of children in foster care, young adults facing housing insecurity, and people seeking adoption services. We are thankful for all your support!
