SMPS Oregon Raised $1,000 for Rose Haven!

On December 5, 2018, The Society for Marketing Professional Services hosted an event for over 80 attendees, where media professionals covering the built industry answered questions regarding the 2019 media outlook. Proceeds from the event went to Rose Haven – a day shelter and community center serving women, children and gender non-conforming persons experiencing the traumas of abuse, homelessness, and other disruptive life challenges.  Due to our attendance, SMPS Oregon was able to raise $1,000, plus provided dozens of toiletry packs for Rose Haven. Our donation proceeds will go directly towards Rose Haven’s largest fundraising event: Reigning Roses.

Located in NW Portland, Rose Haven provides day shelter and resources to more than 3,500 women, children and gender variant people each year who are experiencing homelessness, hunger, abuse and other disruptive life experiences.

Reigning Roses

Rose Haven supporters and guests will unite to stride a beautiful route through NW Portland on Mother’s Day at the 6th annual Reigning Roses Walk.

Community members are invited to walk with, or in honor of, a special woman in their life - a mother, grandmother, daughter, partner or friend.
