Thank you and WOW! Congratulations on helping to create an incredible p:earblossoms 2008! We had hoped to raise $100,000, and you helped us exceed our goal by $20,000! These are funds that will be used for the massive effort of creating a permanent place for these valuable young people to receive safe, nurturing and creative support as they go through the treacherous and very individual path from street-life to stable adulthood.

This summer is an important transition for p:ear. We are renovating our new home at 338 NW 6th, and raising the money to buy the building. We look forward to your continued and vital support as p:ear creates stability that these kids need more than anything else in their lives.

Please join us on September 3rd for the Grand “new p:ear” Party - our official opening!

Because of donors like you, p:ear is continuing to provide educational, artistic, social and recreational opportunities for Portland’s homeless and transitional youth. Your support and belief in them is a critical component of their future. You are helping these vibrant young people to build a future of hope, growth and change.

Thank you.
Pippa Arend, Program Director
