Portland, OR. Ride Connection held its annual fundraising event, Going Places, at the Oregon Zoo on May 13th, raising close to $72,000. Nearly 220 guests, including Joe Connors, Lisa Schmidt and Jeff and Lisa Faust, (representatives from event sponsor Pacific Continental Bank) showed their support for the organization by participating in live and silent auctions as well as a paddle raise. Customers also told their stories to highlight the work Ride Connection does in the community to provide accessible transportation options throughout the Portland region. The Ride Connection network is made up of a collection of agencies who serve older adults and people with disabilities as well as low-income individuals and general public by offering a variety of transportation options in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. Together, it provided nearly 500,000 rides and supported over 2,000 individuals with training and access to public transportation last year. This video tells the story of Ride Connections:
