Classical Hollywood ~ Saturday, January 28, 2012


Over 275 guests and musicians filled the Oregon Ballroom of the Portland Marriott for the 2012 Gala. The theme this year was "Classical Hollywood" which meant that were signs of the movies and stars everywhere. Table themes included Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz, and the King and I.

PCSO played excerpts from James Bond, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The King and I, and Star Wars!


Marilyn Monroe made a surprise guest appearance, singing Happy 30th Anniversary to Music Director and Conductor Huw Edwards and the orchestra. Marilyn was channeled by Portland soprano Coral Walterman.



Auctioneer Jason Demicheli of KellyRussell Auctions and Emcee Kirk Mouser of Stumptown Stages helped raise over $40,000 in the auctions to help keep PCSO on the stage for the rest of the season.

Scott Miller, VP of Marketing at Riverview Community Bank draws the winning ticket for the Raffle which was two round trip airline tickets, donated by Riverview.

The winner was Debee Givens of Vancouver, WA. We hear that Ireland might be the destination of the lucky winners.




For anyone who missed the event, you can still donate to our cause!

Thank you!
