2025 Maybelle Center Family Reunion
April 29, 2025 • 5:30 PM • Avenue Portland
The future of Portland depends on bold action to ensure everyone has a place to belong – and it starts on April 29, 2025.
Join us for an energizing evening as we come together to champion social health and celebrate the vibrant spirit of Portlanders. Get ready to shout “Bingo!” as you reunite with Maybelle Center friends over a family-style meal to support our mission to address the root causes of social isolation.
Raise your paddle and bid on thrilling auction items, knowing that every dollar you contribute will directly support programs in affordable housing and assisted living—lifelines for many Portlanders facing stigma from mental health and financial poverty.
The stakes have never been higher. In a time of growing division and uncertainty, we must stand up for the values that make Portland thrive. Let’s make 2025 the year we commit to building a city where we all truly belong.

- Get in front of attendees, who consist primarily of mid-career and recent retirees from professional fields, including health, finance, law, and education.
