LIBERTYBANK BEND WINTERFEST ANNOUNCES NEW CHARITY
LibertyBank Bend WinterFest is proud to support local charities. Since 2005 the event has awarded over $20,000 to support local charities. Lee Perry, Event Director for Lay It Out Events, producers of Bend WinterFest
states "these charities play a vital role in our community and we want to
support them in any way we can. "
The beneficiary for this year's event will be the local non-profit
organization Girls Go Outside.
Event Director Lee Perry also stated that "Girls Go Outside was chosen as the
beneficiary this year because we believe in supporting up and coming charities
that may not receive funds from other sources. "
The mission of Girls Go Outside is to create adventures for all girls that
challenge them to embrace and to celebrate their voices and strengths. Jeanna Ozyck, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Girls Go Outside states that
"Girls Go Outside is committed to creating community on our trips with girls. We do this through exploring the small communities we create amongst ourselves over the course of an adventure as well as engaging in service projects during our time together. We are thrilled to have the support of the Bend community through Winterfest
celebrations fostering the work we are committed to doing with middle school
aged girls. "
Girls Go Outside will benefit by receiving 20% of all of the button sales
from the event. WinterFest buttons will be available for purchase beginning in December at all LibertyBank
branches, all Les Schwab Tire Centers and other various locations throughout
downtown Bend.
All button buyers will receive great discounts and promotions to many local
businesses and restaurants.
LibertyBank Bend WinterFest will be held on February 8,9 and 10, 2008 in Downtown Bend across from the Library. This full scale community event will include the WinterFest Marketplace, made up of local artists, crafters and gourmet food purveyors. There will be live music, a children's area, snowboard and ski rail competition, a cross country ski event, a winter wine walk downtown as well as great food and much more.
All events will take place in the event center downtown, plus additional events
will be held at the 7th Mountain Resort.
