4th ANNUAL FIRST CHAIR: OCTOBER 19th, 2023

On Thursday, October 19th, 2023, those that attended the gala led OAS to extraordinary heights. Your support got us on the first chair to the summit, and it is with great joy to share that you got OAS beyond our fundraising goal of $225,000! The success of our event is a testament to the incredible power of our community and the impact we can have when we join forces. Thank you again. We hope you enjoyed the drinks courtesy of Brooks Wine, Cascade Lakes Brewing, Crater Lake Spirits, Rose City Distillery, and the beautiful flowers courtesy of Donner Flowers.

Once again, thank you for your outstanding support. We are deeply grateful for your dedication, your generosity, and your commitment to OAS. Together, we are transforming lives and ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative powers of outdoor recreation.

As we reflect on the success of First Chair, we are overwhelmed with gratitude, and we want to express our sincerest thanks to our sponsor’s early commitment.
