    DEAR FRIENDS, Thank you for joining us for the 15th Power of the Purse! Though we are coming to you from Portland, Oregon, this year’s virtual event is being broadcast to celebrated Girls Inc. supporters all throughout the country! These last 15 years have been quite a journey for us both. We vividly recall our first meeting in 2005, to discuss the concept of pairing Portland “notables” with local purse designers to create one-of-a-kind handbags to be featured at an annual, one-of-a-kind event ‒ Power of the Purse! An event concept that would fully celebrate the breadth of Portland’s highly acclaimed design community while giving voice to the expansive chorus of Portland’s leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists – a community of champions building the foundation for the next generation of strong, smart and bold leaders. Now 15 years later, and millions upon millions of dollars raised to champion for the empowerment of girls and an equitable society, we have the honor of Co-Chairing this 15th event. It has been an absolute honor to watch this event concept grow into a powerful platform for empowering youth. We are so grateful to be part of this movement here in Portland. Although we are unable to join together in person for this sensational event – we are still united in spirit and in fundraising – allies within our community – with an open mind and a readiness to continue empowering Girls Inc. youth – our future leaders of tomorrow. Stay strong, smart and bold dear friends! RISE WITH HER.

Wetzel was given a shirt emblazoned with “SOLO SENIOR” to wear before the Oct. 31 game. Then, when her teammates removed their warm-up jerseys, she saw that they were all wearing shirts bearing a photo of her in action. A touched and inspired Wetzel went on to tie her career best for points in a contest, with a goal and two assists as the Beavers defeated Arizona, 3-0.

  • Portland Art Museum Receives Historic $10 Million Gift from Philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer the Largest Gift Ever to a Portland Arts Organization, Mrs
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ian Gillingham Press & Publications Manager 503-276-4342 503-334-6893 (after hours) Portland Art Museum receives historic $10 million gift from philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer The largest gift ever to a Portland arts organization, Mrs. Schnitzer’s donation continues an extraordinary legacy of support for the Museum and the arts. Portland, Oregon, January 21, 2020—The Portland Art Museum today announced a landmark gift of $10 million from philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer, representing the largest contribution from an individual donor in the 127-year history of the institution. This gift is also among the top gifts to the arts in the region, signaling to the community the importance of continued investment in the art and culture of Portland and our region. The gift was announced at the Museum this morning by Jordan Schnitzer, Mrs. Schnitzer’s son, who like his mother is a noted collector and arts philanthropist. Gov. Kate Brown spoke of Mrs. Schnitzer’s extraordinary leadership to approximately 200 invitees, underscoring the importance of the Schnitzers and others investing in the arts in our state. U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici brought additional good news to this morning’s event, announcing a $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of the Museum’s Connections Campaign. Through that campaign, the Museum will transform its campus by connecting its two buildings via the new Mark Rothko Pavilion and by growing its endowment in support of access, exhibitions, and programs. The Schnitzer gift now represents the lead gift in the Museum's ongoing Connection Campaign, which is currently in the quiet phase.
