Nursingale Comes Together for Good

Portland, September 13th, 2014. 175 people gathered at the Armory in the Pearl in support of Nursingale, Oregon’s only nonprofit providing in-home, skilled nursing care to families with medically fragile children and young adults, enabling them to remain at home. The first-ever “Together for Good” event featured Patrick Lamb and his band, and raised more than $33,000, which will be used to provide more families with the nursing care they need.
