It’s Fun to Be a Kid.
But It’s Not Easy.

With steep budget cuts, shrinking school days and the elimination of physical education, Portland school kids have it rough. These days, it’s harder than ever to be a healthy, active kid. And that’s where AC Portland—and most importantly—you come in.

Give the Gift of Soccer.

It’s been said that soccer is the great equalizer. We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we started AC Portland. Our mission is to elevate communities, boost graduation rates, build character and nurture kids into happier, healthier, more creative people. All with the help of The Beautiful Game. And while we can’t fix the education crisis, we can do something about it.

RAISE 2013: Darlington Nagbe and other Timbers players will be there.
You should, too.

Join us at 7:30pm - 9:30pm on March 7 for RAISE 2013, our first annual fundraiser auction at Casa Del Matador NW. In case gourmet Tex-Mex and great music aren’t reason enough, we’ll also have a silent auction featuring soccer collectibles and must-have items from local businesses. Even Andy Carson, local TV legend and all-around nice guy,
will be there.

Now, normally a dinner like this would necessitate a second mortgage or selling your non-vital organs. This event? Just $100 a ticket. Which means you get to help kids and meet Darlington Nagbe and other Timbers players, all while keeping your kidneys right
where they belong.

Tickets are limited, register today.
