April 21 - The Dalles

February 18 - The Portland Roast Festival, Portland
The Oregon Lottery is also sponsoring the 15th annual Portland Roast Festival! Held this year at the Rose Garden, this event raises funds for the Portland Schools foundation, a community-based organization that supports public education in Portland in many ways. The evening’s program includes a team of Hacks (political personalities) and Flacks (media personalities) who take turns roasting one another in a debate like format. Incredibly entertaining and emceed by none other than the Lottery’s former Commission chair, Kerry Tymchuk. This fund-raising event also provides the Lottery the opportunity to educate Oregonians where Lottery profits go.
February 17 - Community Unity Banquet, Portland
The Oregon Lottery is proud to return as Presenting Sponsor of the Black United Fund’s Community Unity Banquet for 2010. In its 13th year, this annual event celebrates Community, Unity and Freedom, and provides memorable presentations, performances and the award of many scholarships to deserving Oregon youth. The Lottery is also proud to be presenting two Ron Herndon Scholarships to students who have been selected based on their academic standings, community service activities and oral and written performances. Held at the Governor Hotel in Portland, this Oregon Wins event helps us “put a face” on the Lottery for an audience of 600 who appreciate both community and education.
