GALA
PARTY FOR PRESERVATION
Our annual gala returns in full form this year and it wouldn't be a proper celebration without you!
Join us for a night of fun and good food, reconnect with friends and colleagues, learn about exciting initiatives on deck at the AHC, and raise a glass in loving tribute to our very own Bill Hawkins.
The Gala is the AHC's largest fundraising event of the year! With the proceeds from our Gala, we can empower people to preserve Portland's historic and culturally significant places. All proceeds will benefit our walking tours, lectures, exhibits, and advocacy efforts. The AHC works to save the places that make Portland, PORTLAND, and we couldn't do it without your support!
