 This past Wednesday, Future Prairie and Questions About Everything trivia hosted a benefit for the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization, and it was a packed house! Several Future Prairie artists donated their art to the raffle. The talented Maiah Wynne performed while everyone scoped out the amazing prizes and assembled their teams to see who knew the most about current events, history, and pop culture. It was a tough competition, but in the end, Pier’s team won by one point!
We raised over $800, all of which will go directly to help the important work that IRCO does to provide immigrants and refugees with the cultural and linguistic social services they need to become self-sufficient and empowered members of our community.

Big shout out to Portland Mercado for being the perfect spot for such an event. La Arepa made delicious food and gave it out for free to all of our event attendees, which was so kind of them. Thank you to our sponsors: Risa Lichtman, Mali Fischer, Heart Roasters, Little Bird, Kathleen Boudwin, Best Friend Juice + Espresso, Airbnb, Never Coffee, B-Movie Bingo, Infinite Companion, Katie Mudd Mugs, Xocotl, and Mob Cycle. Thank you as well to our all-volunteer team: Jake Dockter, Rachael Elston, Rachel Reid, and Brittany Galvan. Hope to see you all at the next event.
