Portland’s philanthropic bar was raised yet again at this year at Portland’s Spring 2013 Society Event. It was the place to see and be seen. Arlene Schnitzer again transformed the Kridel Ballroom and set the stage for a gala extraordinaire to benefit the Harold Schnitzer Diabetes Health Center at Oregon Health & Science University, and for the Portland Chamber Orchestra. It was a magical evening.
The room was a veritable “Who’s Who,” and drew close to 400 generous patrons from around the country, many of whom flew to Portland especially for the event. True to form, Arlene Schnitzer outdid herself. Smiles shone and funds successfully flowed in as the evening unfolded. It was a beautiful evening, full of heart and humor.
