Thank you for giving us so much to celebrate! We finished an action-packed 2011 by breaking our 2010 Willamette Week Give!Guide record. You helped us raise $4,440.50 to provide writing instruction to teachers, students, parents, and writers throughout 2012. Thank you! Congratulations to our Willamette Week Give!Guide grand-prize winner! Christine will get a free night’s stay at theAce Hotel Portland, complete with a complimentary bottle of wine. Cheers!

Wordstock is gratified to have been selected for the last three years to participate in Willamette Week’s annual Give!Guide program.

The annual Give!Guide is a holiday season fundraiser that helps generate donations for a collection of Portland-area nonprofit organizations like ours. The organizations participating in the Give!Guide work in a number of areas of the community, including the arts, education, the environment, social action, wellness, and youth services. You might have noticed that Wordstock, through our annual festival and our programs for teachers and students, fits into several of these categories.
