B.U.L.L. SESSION 2024 PROGRAM
CELEBRATING 34 YEARS OF GIVING
THANK YOU FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear B.U.L.L. Session Community,
Thank you for your participation in the 34th annual B.U.L.L. Session Invitational Charity Events, title sponsored by NECA/IBEW Local 48 and US Bank.
The B.U.L.L. Session was born when local community leaders got together in order to make a positive contribution to some very special children in our community. Since 1991, the B.U.L.L. Session has continued to bring together local business, union, and labor leaders to help Oregon Children’s Charities.
The B.U.L.L. Session is proud of our 34-year history of giving, and this year’s contribution will see our cumulative giving reach more than $7.9 million to local nonprofit organizations.
Your participation is essential to making the event a success, and we thank all of you who participated in and supported our 2024 lineup of B.U.L.L. Session Charity events. Together we continue to solidify the B.U.L.L. Session’s place as one of Oregon’s premier fundraising events.
We hope to see you all again for the 2025 B.U.L.L. Session Invitational Charity Events.
Sincerely,
The B.U.L.L. Session Board of Directors

ALBERTINA KERR
CHILDREN’S CRISIS PSYCHIATRIC CARE FACILITY
Albertina Kerr is one of the oldest and largest human services nonprofits in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1907, Kerr empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health challenges to lead self-determined lives in their communities.
PROGRAM RESULTS
“I truly believe that Albertina Kerr, for us, was a matter of life and death; I feel like we have our life back.”
– Parent of Children’s Mental Health teen
Through Kerr’s Crises Psychiatric Care for Youth, children and teens in the midst of mental health crises receive round-the-clock care. Kerr employs a comprehensive approach involving collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team of child and adolescent psychiatrists, child and family therapists, psychologists, nurses, and psychiatric technicians. Children and teens in Kerr’s inpatient program:
Quickly stabilize and return safely and successfully to the community.
Develop essential skills to stay safe, preserve relationships, and succeed in home and school.
Cultivate a sense of belonging supported by personalized understanding and guidance.
Support from the B.U.L.L. Session allows Albertina Kerr to continue providing these vital services, and to raise awareness of mental health issues for children and families in need.
Thank you for your support!
GALES CREEK CAMP FOUNDATION
Kids with type 1 diabetes are at risk for a host of serious, sudden, and long-term complications, including anxiety and depression. The physical challenges of being a type 1 diabetic are hard, but the emotional and social challenges can really take a toll. Gales Creek Camp is a place of true belonging. A place where children and teenagers with type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes from all over the Pacific Northwest can relax and have fun, while connecting with other kids who live with the same challenges. Studies have proven that the positive, nurturing, unifying environment of summer camp makes a difference in outcomes across the board, from healthier bodies to healthier minds. Gales Creek campers carry their memories and their friendships with them for the rest of their lives. And, hopefully, have been inspired to take care of themselves, and each other, and to live life to the fullest.
Support from the B.U.L.L. Session allows the Gales Creek Camp Foundation to continue providing children and teenagers with impactful, fulfilling and, at times, life-changing camp experiences.
MARCH OF DIMES OREGON
Too many babies are born too soon. Premature birth is a serious problem that threatens the lives of nearly 400,000 babies each year in the United States and 15 million globally. That’s why March of Dimes regularly funds new research to find the causes of premature birth – and develop ways to prevent it.
Since being founded in 1938, March of Dimes has tackled, and solved, complex health issues facing moms, babies and families. They aim to make premature birth their next breakthrough, and to ensure that every baby has a fighting chance. March of Dimes also helps families cope with the challenges of having a critically ill newborn, whether due to prematurity or a birth defect.
Support from the B.U.L.L. Session helps March of Dimes in its mission to improve the quality of maternity care and high-risk pediatric care for all pregnant women and newborns in Oregon and SW Washington, and to work with women to reduce the known risk factors that lead to preterm birth.

SHRINERS CHILDREN’S PORTLAND
Shriners Children’s Portland celebrates more than 96 years of providing life-changing healthcare for children throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Portland Shriners Hospital is dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty pediatric orthopedic care, conducting innovative research, and offering outstanding healthcare teaching programs.
The Portland Shriners Hospital focuses on a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, from sports injuries and fractures, to the most complex conditions, such as scoliosis and cerebral palsy.
Services include:
Inpatient and outpatient surgery
Physical, occupational and speech therapy
Orthotics and prosthetics
Outpatient clinics
Low radiation EOS Imaging System
Motion analysis center
All services are provided in a family-centered environment, regardless of the families’ ability to pay.
Support from the B.U.L.L. Session allows Shriners Children’s Portland to continue their mission of providing expert care to children.
THE SWINDELLS CENTER PROVIDENCE CHILDREN’S HEALTH
Learning your child has special needs, developmental delays or disabilities is life-changing, isolating, and scary. Where do I go from here? What do I do next? For over 25 years, Swindells Resource Centers have been supporting parents and caregivers across Oregon and SW Washington with resources, parenting coaching, and community connection.
The kind and compassionate staff at Swindells know firsthand what parents and caregivers are going through and connect clients to training through a vast lending library, educational events, support services for caregivers and siblings, parent education classes, and referral guidance. All these life-changing services are offered at no cost regardless of a child’s diagnosis, age, language, or family income.
One parent shared, “They say it takes a village…you (Swindells) are my village.” Support from the B.U.L.L. Session allows Swindells to serve, on average, over 3,600 families annually. All of our life-changing services are offered at little to no cost –and you make it possible.
WHEEL TO WALK FOUNDATION
Wheel to Walk began as a Christmas Luncheon, raising $400 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It has since flourished into a standalone non-profit organization focused on purchasing medical & adaptive equipment and therapy services for children with special needs.
Too often insurance doesn’t cover many of the items that are necessary for children and teens with special needs to be able to thrive and be their best selves. Items such as therapy tricycles, adaptive strollers, shower chairs, pumper cars, zip zac chairs, selective communication devices, gait trainers, speech therapy, and wheelchairs, to name a few. Wheel to Walk strongly believes that no child or young adult with special needs should go without items that could improve the quality of their daily life.
Wheel to Walk provides:
Adaptive Car Seats
Adaptive Strollers
Communication Devices
Cranial Helmets
Gait Trainers
Lift Systems
Orthotics
Pumper Cars
Physical Therapy
Seating Devices
Shower Chairs
Speech Therapy
Therapy Tricycles
Vision Therapy
Wheelchairs
Zip Zac Chairs
Support from the B.U.L.L. Session allows the Wheel to Walk Foundation to continue providing equipment and services to individuals in need (under the age of 20) throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California.
