Beaverton, May 19th. A special banquet honoring female athletes, like gold-medal Olympic soccer star and Oregon native Tiffeny Milbrett, was held at the Tiger Woods Center on the Nike Campus. (Milbrett is pictured with Jaimie Anderson, Jerry Nudelman and Mike Anderson, standing behind.)
The event drew 270 supporters and raised more than $60,000 for the Buckman Field Project which provides a home field for St. Mary’s Academy’s soccer and lacrosse teams. Organizers say the turnout and support for St. Mary’s Academy’s celebration of Title IX demonstrates that even though the landmark piece of legislation turns 40 this year, it’s still as important as ever.

In addition to gold-medal Olympic soccer star and Oregon native Tiffeny Milbrett, special guests included former Congresswoman Darlene Hooley and sportscaster Ann Schatz.
“The event was all I had hoped for. The turnout was great, the speakers were fabulous and everyone left with a better understanding of what Title IX has done for women and the importance of continuing to do due diligence to keep it moving forward,” said Teri Mariani, event chairwoman and St. Mary’s Academy alumna. “I can’t thank our sponsors, speakers and all those in attendance enough for making it a great night of celebration for Title IX and a very deserving Tiffeny Milbrett,” Mariani said.
When Title IX was passed into law in 1972, it mandated gender equity in all educational institutions receiving federal funding. Title IX’s impact goes far beyond athletics, but the groundbreaking legislation is most often associated with providing sports opportunities for women.
Olympian, Tiffeny Milbrett
Milbrett has called those opportunities “as natural as having air to breathe,” but St. Mary’s Academy’s 40th anniversary of Title IX celebration offered a good reminder that this wasn’t always the case. The event, which was supported in part by Nike, lauded the achievements of those who helped pass this legislation and of professional athletes such as Milbrett who have taken full advantage of it in years since.
The event also helped provide opportunities for the athletes of tomorrow by raising money for the Buckman Field Project. Prior to the completion of the two regulation-size synthetic turf fields in inner Northeast Portland last summer, St. Mary’s Academy’s soccer and lacrosse teams were nomadic and didn’t have a designated field for practices and home games. Though renovation of the field was completed in 2011, St. Mary’s Academy is still fundraising to fulfill its portion of the cost. The more than $60,000 raised at the Title IX banquet helps move the school closer to meeting its financial obligation.
“I am truly grateful to everyone who helped make our Title IX 40th anniversary celebration such a huge success. St. Mary’s Academy has a long history of athletic participation for its students, so acknowledging the significant legislation that broadened the scope of possibilities for our young women to develop in athletics beyond our four walls seems very fitting,” said Anna Maria Lopez, St. Mary’s Academy Athletic Director and alumna. “Coupled with the opportunity Buckman Field provides for our student athletes, who since we launched our soccer program 37 years ago have waited patiently for a true home field, it was such a great parallel. Knowing we had two great milestones to celebrate made the event even more relevant and moving.”

From Univeristy of Portland:
The University of Portland, an independently governed Catholic university guided by the Congregation of Holy Cross, addresses significant questions of human concern through disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies of the arts, sciences, and humanities and through studies in majors and professional programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a diverse community of scholars dedicated to excellence and innovation, we pursue teaching and learning, faith and formation, service and leadership in the classroom, residence halls, and the world. Because we value the development of the whole person, the University honors faith and reason as ways of knowing, promotes ethical reflection, and prepares people who respond to the needs of the world and its human family.
Portland, May 14th. Seventy people raised their glasses at a special dinner cabaret benefiting the Young People’s Theatre Project. Spotlight Sponsors, Tracey and Mike Clark join program directors, Elaine Kloser and Jeff Hall, alongside Curtain Call Sponsors Brittney Clark and Chris Brooks. The event raised over $10,000 for the popular theater program. The Young People’s Theater Project (YPTP) facilitates productions, classes, and after-school programs at a variety of local public and private schools. The organization’s marquee production is an annual summer musical with a cast of over 100 which is staged at Jesuit High School.
Stephanie and Bob Mathews supported the dinner cabaret.
Teri Meyer, served as the accompanist for the cabaret and Kate White, is not just YPTP's Officer Manager she's an acomplished singer as well.
The nonprofit’s annual fundraiser featured performances and testimonials from Project alumni and current students.
Based in Portland, for over 20 years, YPTP has served young people in more than 40 states. The nonprofit partners with schools, community art centers, organizations including Young Audiences, The Portland Art Museum, and Oregon Zoo to create unique theatre education experiences.
YPTP also partners with Camp Caldera, an arts camp on Blue Lake in Central Oregon. Senior cast members rehearse their productions at Caldera then join younger participants for performances in Portland.
The Performing Arts Camp quickly became The Project’s primary focus, and today draws far more interest than can be accommodated through existing programming. Children’s Chorus and Junior Ensemble sessions fill quickly, and more students audition for the overnight camp at Caldera than can be invited to participate.
Last Summer's YPTP musical was "Annie Get Your Gun"
Students of all ages are encouraged to participate and often develop a life-long love of live theatre.
This year’s musical will be Once on This Island. Performances are scheduled for July 12th – 15th.
The Young People’s Theatre Project combines entertainment and education for all audiences. Through performances, workshops and residencies with professional theatre artists, young people of all ages explore their creative potential. The Project is a resource to an ever expanding community, from opening nights to opening minds.
The Young People’s Theatre Project is made up of teachers, actors, directors, writers, and technicians who have all benefited from opportunities in educational theatre andwant to share their experience with as many people as possible.
The Young People’s Theatre Project is made up of young people, who have “graduated” through the various Project programs, and are now returning to both gain and share new experiences by working as volunteers or staff members.
The Young People’s Theatre Project is indeed an ever-expanding community of young people of all ages as we expand our work to include participants as young as 6 or 7 and as old as 67.
And when you get involved – whether on stage, behind the scenes, in the audience, or from a distance – The Young People’s Theatre Project is you.
