We have some awesome raffle prizes to give away during the event. Raffle tickets will be available. ALL funds from this event go directly towards helping “Discover Your Forest” maintain free, outstanding hands-on conservation education for thousands of Central Oregon’s youth, and will help us grow our reach to underserved communities by purchasing adaptive equipment and support to insure that all people, regardless of their ability or identity can experience the thrill of the outdoors.
Although we will not be mandating mask use, we encourage folks who feel more comfortable wearing one, to please do so. There will be plenty of space to distance yourself if needed, and we are asking everyone to be mindful and respectful of others during the event.
With a limited amount of tickets available, interested parties should grab theirs now! If space allows, we will have a very limited amount of tickets available at the door. Let’s enjoy some amazing films together, and raise money for an incredible cause!
