Light the Way is Kinship House's annual gathering and raffle to raise funds for therapy and advocacy for children experiencing foster care. With the support of community members and local businesses, Light the Way raises critical, unrestricted funding to provide mental health supports to children who have experienced severe abuse and neglect, and are now faced with regaining their footing in a world that is rapidly changing. Together, we light the way for their ascent.

In-Person Event Details

Play is a key piece of our organization's model and our events are no different! Our goal is to have fun while celebrating all the incredible people that make our community so special.

Where and when? Our in-person celebration will be held on October 19th, 6-8pm, at Easton Broad, located at 237 NE Broadway St Portland OR 97232.

What can you expect? The night will feature games, exclusive raffles & auctions, and special presentations from our staff. To keep us on track and laughing throughout,  Portland's infamous drag queen, Poison Waters, will be joining us as our MC with special performances throughout the night.

What's on the menu? We live in Portland, so food is a top priority! Similar to last year, we are working with our favorite local restaurants to prepare some small bites and other refreshments. We'll share our menu here once it's ready, so check back soon!
