Give!Guide is Willamette Week’s end-of-year effort to raise funds for the good works of local nonprofits, and PDXWIT is proud to be a part of it in 2023! Join us and host Prosper Portland as we celebrate in the heart of downtown Portland: The Imperial at Hotel Lucia.
In addition to networking, you’ll learn more about how you can support PDXWIT and hear from a few community members about PDXWIT’s transformative impact.
This event will also feature raffle prize giveaways throughout the evening.
We look forward to seeing you there!
