(PORTLAND, Ore.)—Today, CareOregon announced that Boys & Girls Clubs of the Portland Metropolitan Area (BGCP) will be its official community-based organization partner for the CareOregon Starlight Parade.

"For CareOregon, headlining the Starlight Parade is about bringing people back together and reenergizing Portland," said Eric C. Hunter, CareOregon CEO. "When it came time to select a community-based organization to share this spotlight, we immediately thought of the Boys & Girls Club. We have a similar spirit and commitment to serving the community. Working with the Boys & Girls Club is about building brighter futures. I think that everyone in our region is ready that kind of positivity and optimism."

Это партнерство основывается на текущем сотрудничестве двух организацияй. In late 2021, CareOregon announced a new 10-year partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Portland Metropolitan Area which includes a deep investment in BGCP's club in the Rockwood neighborhood-naming it the CareOregon Boys & Girls Club at Rockwood.

"The collaborative partnership we share with CareOregon creates transformative impact in the communities we serve.  We build great futures for youth by creating environments where they can gain access and exposure to opportunities that would be limited without our presence in the community.  The amount of opportunity we can expose our young people to became much greater when CareOregon joined forces with us", said Terry Johnson, BGCP CEO.

CareOregon and Boys & Girls Clubs have a history of working together to spark joy and bring energy to Portland Rose Festival activities. In 2019, the organizations shared the spotlight at the Starlight Parade with CareOregon staff and Club kids dancing in a joint parade entry.

This partnership was commemorated in a brief ceremony on Earth Day, April 22, where a Rose Festival Royal Rosarian planted the 2022 official Rose Festival Rose 'Firefly' at the CareOregon Boys & Girls Club site at SE 165th and SE Stark Street.  Boys & Girls Clubs CEO Terry Johnson, CareOregon CEO Eric C. Hunter, and a gaggle of elementary school aged Club kids participated in the ceremonial planting.
