Alpha Media (home of Portland’s KINK 101.9 FM) approached Friends after the Eagle Creek fire for help with a special public education campaign. Sponsored by COUNTRY Financial, the two-month-long “Show the Gorge Some Love” campaign encouraged public support for Gorge communities and businesses affected by the fire, through the holiday season. Alpha Media’s seven Portland radio stations participated in the multimedia campaign.

According to Duncan Creek parcel was a purchase within the TExecutive Director Kevin Gorman, it was “the most campaign, donated an additional 50 acres with Duncan More than 1,900 people from 25 states and the District ambitious land acquisition campaign we’ve ever done: Creek running through it. The children of Vern and of Columbia mirrored the Goods’ generosity, with seven properties, 420 acres, and $5.5 million.” Good made the family’s donation with two donations that ranged from $5 to as much as $1 million. In spring 2018, when $5 million had been raised, two anonymous families provided a $250,000 matching challenge that fired up our members. Within weeks, the final $500,000 put us over the top.

A capital campaign like this is always a marathon effort. But this marathon was run while all of Friends’ other Gorge protection efforts continued, compounded by responding to the biggest Gorge fire in Friends’ 38-year history. The campaign’s success places land management front and center. “It’s exciting to run a campaign to acquire land,” Kevin said, “but it exacts a toll on staff and board members. This was a huge growth step. Now we’re going to step back and look at managing these new properties for generations.”

Board Vice Chair Debbie Asakawa, who co-chaired the Preserve the Wonder campaign, hikes in the Gorge 100 days a year. Viewing this campaign with a long lens, Debbie notes that on the trail, “There’s always some moment of wonder that fills me with gratitude for those who came before us. This is our generation’s opportunity to pay it forward to future generations.” Thanks to those 1,900 donors, we will. Reflecting our appreciation for Friends founder Nancy Russell and the remarkable groundwork her generation laid for Gorge protection, Debbie continued, “The generation that comes after us will be

Trailhead Ambassadors sign up for six-hour shifts on weekends and holidays from mid-April through Labor Day. Besides answering questions about parking passes, hike alternatives, and trail difficulty, they provide information on Leave No Trace ethics.
