2017 Bridge to Change Benefit Dinner - Thank you!

Last night was the final evening for the 8th annual Bridge to Change Benefit Dinner at Andina restaurant. 

This year was our most successful fundraiser to-date and brought together over 100 supporters from around the Portland metro area. Over the two nights of the event we raised almost $100K. That is double our highest amount in any past year.

The generous contributions will go to support the following programs and projects in 2017:

• Expand the Ines Project for Medically Fragile Children in order to scale the model to a number of new locations
• Increase the number of trainings to health professionals in the areas of neonatal resuscitation, emergency medicine, trauma informed care, triage, and basic life support
• ​Complete the development and beta testing of an electronic health monitoring system for children living in orphanages
• Enhance a street youth coalition to include trainings and collaborative opportunities
• Broaden dental services to include outreach, training, and best practices with local dentists
• Strengthen HBI's formative evaluation program for all of our work

We can't stress strongly enough how much we appreciate the amazing stakeholders who have trusted HBI with their generous contributions. The 2017 Bridge to Change event is the start of a whole new chapter in the growth and development of HBI. We're excited to be on this journey with so many of you. Thank you!
