AHC's Annual Gala: Party for Preservation

20th Anniversary Celebration!

Friday, May 2 | 6pm - 9pm

The Ecotrust Natural Capital Building, Portland, OR


  


Welcome to the Party for Preservation!

The Bosco-Milligan Foundation is thrilled to announce that 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of opening our doors to preservation at the Architectural Heritage Center! Join us to celebrate this important milestone at our upcoming Gala on Friday, May 2, from 6-9 pm at the Ecotrust Natural Capital Building. 


Our annual Gala brings together philanthropists, city leaders, design and building professionals, as well as advocates and enthusiasts of architecture and cultural preservation. We’ll be marking the occasion with live jazz from Bigger Nova Bossa Nova, accompanied by cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, followed by a special dinner catered by Vibrant Table, and our annual live auction which supports our critical education, advocacy and thought leadership work ahead.


This will be an event not to be missed!
