We feel so lucky here at Benefit Auctions 360 to have the opportunity to work with incredibly committed and hard-working organizations that are providing essential services with such great care in our community. We look forward to being able to highlight some of these organizations here on the BA360 Blog, along with sharing photos and recaps of their auctions. It is our pleasure to present to you our very first post of this kind!
In October of 2009, Benefit Auctions 360 assisted Sisters of the Road Café in celebrating 30 years of dedication to their mission: to build authentic relationships and alleviate the hunger of isolation in an atmosphere of nonviolence and gentle personalism that nurtures the whole individual, while seeking systemic solutions that reach the roots of homelessness and poverty to end them forever.
Over 350 people attended the Hoedown themed event held at the Portland Art Museum, and more than $100,000 was raised that evening for Sisters of the Road.

The 2009 event marked two other pivotal celebrations: 1) honoring the achievements of retiring founder, Genny Nelson, and 2) celebrating the organizations 30th birthday!
