Portland, OR. Celebrate The Fever was the theme as the Portland Rose Festival made Foundation history by raising more than $157,000 at its annual dinner and auction. 300 guests including Cathe West, Sonja Mallars, Vicky Rice, and Karen Bailey boogied to the music in Montgomery Park at the disco themed benefit. They snapped up items like trips to London and Mexico and walls of wine. Tony Starlight started the crowd going with a rendition of “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.” The audience was feeling the fever at the October 14th event as auctioneer Patrick Siver guided the bidding into a record night for funding Rose Festival award winning events and programming.
