Supporters Who Donate $250 Or More Will Receive One of the Company’S Specially Designed Trekking Poles Contact: Julie Landau 503-297-9982. Ext. 750 [email protected] PosterGarden offers trekking pole incentive to help increase year-end support for Portland parks and gardens Supporters who donate $250 or more will receive one of the company’s specially designed trekking poles Portland, Ore. (Nov. 14, 2012) — In the spirit of giving back this holiday season, PosterGarden is teaming up with some of its favorite Portland parks and gardens to help them raise funds – and to encourage more people to head out and explore them. Between now and January 31, 2013, anyone who makes a donation of $250 or more to any of the participating parks and gardens will receive a coupon redeemable for one of PosterGarden’s specially-designed Portland Parks and Gardens trekking poles, a $50 value. Proceeds from the sale of the poles currently benefit nine parks and gardens in Portland. “We love supporting these parks and gardens throughout the entire year,” said Travis Rigby, CEO of PosterGarden. “We thought that offering up a little incentive this holiday season would help kick that up a few notches more.” The nine parks and gardens who’ve partnered with PosterGarden include: Audubon Society of Portland, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, Forest Park Conservancy, Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Japanese Garden, Lan Su Chinese Garden, Leach Botanical Garden, Pittock Mansion, and Washington Park Rose Garden. Hoyt Arboretum and Forest Park Conservancy are also in this year’s Give!Guide, the Willamette Week newspaper’s annual publication that helps Portland nonprofits raise funds. “We are happy to be able to help out all these great organizations,” said Wendy Mitchell, program director for the PosterGarden Fund for Arts, Culture & Gardens. “And not only does this incentive generate support for the parks and gardens, but it encourages people to visit, explore, and enjoy all these wonderful places.” PosterGarden’s high-quality, adjustable trekking pole is made of sturdy aluminum and features a comfortable, ambidextrous grip, a spring-loaded anti-shock system, a lanyard, and a carbide tungsten tip. The pole can also be customized with a range of optional features, including an LED flashlight grip, a compass, a digital camera mount, a PRO grip for mounting larger cameras or spotting scopes, and various tips and baskets. PosterGarden, which was honored by the Portland Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Awards program this fall, launched the trekking pole program in May 2011.

  • PP Annual Report Exec Summary V4.Indd
    2015–16 Dear Portlanders: Thank you for your recent commitment to repairing and improving Portland’s parks. In November 2014, you and an impressive 74 percent of Portlanders voted “Yes” for the Parks Replacement Bond Projects26 underway — the highest percentage ever for a Parks ballot measure. You became part of a long tradition of Portlanders who’ve built and maintained our city’s enviable collection of park facilities. In this fi rst full year of the Bond, from July 2015 to July 2016, we’ve laid the foundation for the work to be done. In this upcoming year, you’ll start to see tangible results in the parks. Replacement of the 70 to 90 year old mechanical systems at Grant Pool was the fi rst completed project, and next year, results will be visible across the city. Project1 completed About every nine years over the last century, Portlanders have invested in increasing, preserving and maintaining our park system by voting “yes” on parks bonds or levies. Before the 2014 bond, the last major bond was in 1994, meaning 20 years passed without signifi cant park improvements or address- ing dire repair needs. Portland Parks & Recreation anticipates a $248 million funding gap for major maintenance needs over the next 10 years. The $68 million in funds from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond will not address all of these maintenance issues, but it is vital to fi xing, upgrading and replacing the most crucial of these needs. Projects18 ahead of As your Parks Commissioner and Parks Director, we are making sure the funds will be used wisely and schedule maximize benefi ts to the greatest number of park users.

Set against the backdrop of majestic Mount Hood, Portland combines a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere with a refreshingly friendly, small-town warmth. Located in a state that’s 48% forests and celebrated for its proximity to natural wonders like the Columbia River Gorge, Portland’s metro area is pretty scenic in its own right.
