Portland, OR. The 16th Annual Wine and Golf Ball raised over $210,000 for The Children’s Course/The First Tee of Greater Portland. Originally, the event was scheduled for the same night and was to include a live auction, dinner and wine tasting at the Downtown Hilton. Due to the COVID 19 outbreak and subsequent “Stay at Home” order, the April 15th benefit became a virtual gala. It was live-streamed using Vimeo and broadcast on YouTube.
The Children’s Course is a non-profit and is funded by private donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals. The golf course is home to the First Tee of Greater Portland, which provides young people with character-building and life skills lessons using golf as the platform.
The Children’s Course is nestled between the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers in Gladstone. It originally opened for play as Rivergreens Golf Course in 1961 as an 18-hole, par 3 course. In 1989, following the development of apartments on the perimeter, the course was redesigned into a 9-hole, par 3 course.
Here’s more from The Children’s Course:
If you missed your chance during the virtual event, we welcome any donation. There are opportunities still available on our website, wineandgolfball.com. You can still help support our participants and our programs directly through purchasing a Club Fitting for a Child, Supply Nutritious Snacks or Fill-er Up to buy gas for our van to transport the kids.
We are overjoyed and thankful for youth like Griffin who started First Tee classes at eight years of age, and found it challenging to interact with other kids his age or adults in his day to day activities. Now 15 and a volunteer junior coach, Griffin credits the life skills he learned at The Children’s Course / First Tee of Greater Portland with developing the respectful and charismatic individual he is today. Thank you for your generosity as it will help continue to make dreams come true for youth at The Children’s Course, where we coach the THRIVE Mentor Program, Girls Golf, and First Tee of Greater Portland, and our seven additional First Tee sites throughout Portland and Eugene.
Construction continues on our new Learning Center that opens this fall. We will double the number of youth and provide year-round programming and mentorship. The future looks bright, and because of your kindness, we will continue to impact children positively year-round at The Children’s Course and throughout Portland and Eugene.
The mailing address for The Children’s Course is 19825 River Road, Gladstone, OR 97027.

Due to the health impacts from COVID-19 (coronavirus) in our community, and in line with Governor Kate Brown’s direction on large gatherings, Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare’s Culture of Caring Gala, which was scheduled for April 2nd, has been POSTPONED. Cascadia has rescheduled the Gala for Thursday, October 8th. (At the 2018 gala, John Washington, Cupid Alexander, Christina Hawkins posed for the photo above.)
Cascadia is working in cooperation with Multnomah County and the Oregon Health Authority, as well as following CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) and WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines. Organizational leaders say they take this outbreak very seriously and released the following statement:
“While we are disappointed to be losing the opportunity to come together, putting the health of our community first is critical at this time. We hope that by pushing the event back, our community will be able to stay healthy and then come back together for an impactful night of rising together in support of whole health care.
We appreciate your continued partnership and support of Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare. We will keep you updated with next steps. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected].”

Portland, OR. Do you have an old computer you’re not using? You can donate it to a nonprofit called Free Geek to help meet a 4,000% increase in the number of requests for computers so low-income people can get online. A good portion of requests come from students who suddenly need to get online in order to participate in K-12 education or college. Many people are reaching out on behalf of aging parents who are no longer able to visit their doctors and others are desperate for access to mental health or addiction treatment services.
If you donate, rest assured, your data will be secure. “Data security is our top concern when receiving donations – and we will thoroughly wipe (or physically destroy) any hard drives that we receive,” explains the organization. In the first weeks of the pandemic, the organization saw the demand for used laptops spike from about 300 requests per month to 3,000 per week. “Folks need the internet to be able to see a doctor, to pay their bills, do work so they can continue to get a paycheck or get an education,” said Hilary Shohoney, director of community development for Portland nonprofit Free Geek. “It touches every area of our life right now.” But an estimated 17% of Portlanders aren’t connected to the internet. In rural parts of the Northwest, that number balloons to nearly 40%. With the coronavirus pandemic all but canceling face-to-face interactions, the internet is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. “For us, the numbers changed exponentially,” Shohoney said.
