President, Junior League of Portland The Junior League of Portland (JLP) has been empowering women and strengthening our community since 1910. Well before equal rights and the opportunity to vote, women in our community were courageously confronting our toughest problems head-on. Never have those words felt truer as we move into our 110th year of service, especially during these challenging times with COVID-19. Historically, at the beginning of each new League year, we set a theme. The 2019-2020 theme was “We Can Do It!” Throughout this issue of the JLPress, you will learn more about what Junior League of Portland women are doing today and the true collective power of women to create lasting change.

Our Stop Human Trafficking Awareness Day Event in January brought members from throughout the community to learn and make commitments to spread awareness.

Sustainer Events

This year is incredibly special as it is our 110th anniversary, and we are beyond proud to conclude our 1910 Campaign in honor of our rich heritage by presenting a gift of $110,000 to our chosen partner, New Avenues for Youth. What was inspiring to me about this campaign was that it wasn’t one donor, one event or one corporation that hit this goal, but rather it was the collective power of donors and events, over 300 to be exact. Such a feat is rare, honorable, and highlights the impact of the Junior League of Portland. Every donor is vitally important to our organization. And when we come together, “We Can Do It!”
