2nd Annual Raise a Glass for the Kids
Raise a Glass for the Kids – Cheers to Changing Lives
It’s more than a celebration—it’s a chance to change a child’s future.
Raise a Glass for the Kids isn’t just about coming together as a community—it’s about making a real, lasting difference in the lives of students in need across Deschutes County.

This vital initiative provides essential school clothing to students who need it most, helping them feel confident, included, and ready to learn.
When you raise your glass, you’re not just making a toast—you’re helping a child walk into school with dignity, warmth, and a smile.
