Kick off the Celebrations for Crag’s 20-year Anniversary
Online or in person with our community partners
It’s Crag’s 20th anniversary! We’d hoped to throw a big bash, but in the interest of safety and comfort we’re postponing our gala to next summer. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please join us for a virtual celebration and fundraiser on Dec. 2. We’ll have a sweet online auction and fill you in on our news. And if you’re venturing out (and vaccinated!), we’ll be gathering with our community partners for a night of goofy fun and dancing at our Crag Carnival on Dec. 4. This is a great chance to get to know some of our partner organizations working on the front lines of environmental justice in Portland and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to the Wild Shots gala? Is it going to happen?
We’d hoped to throw a big bash this year, but in the interest of safety and comfort we’re postponing our gala to next summer. Stay tuned!
How is the Carnival different from Crag's usual end of year fundraising event/Wild Shots?
The Carnival (yes, it’s actually a carnival!) is a drop-in, casual, shared fundraiser with some of our community partners. To get a ticket, donate $10 or more in the Give!Guide to Crag or any of the participating nonprofits. You can also get a ticket directly from us here. No sit-down dinner, no auction, just carnival games, a short program to give out prizes and a dance party!
If you’re pining for that special night out to support Crag, take heart. It’s happening in spring/summer 2022 at an open-air location where we can gather together safely. We’ll share details about the event in early 2022 so you’ll have time to put it on your calendar.
