Halloween Costume Party to benefit the Oncology Youth Connection
Saturday, October 29th
Tickets: $50, alcoholic drinks are inclusive with a ticket purchase
Discount Promo: $20 off this weekend for if you enter SPOTLIGHT (all caps) on the site.
Location: 114 year-old warehouse beneath the Fremont Bridge
North Portland | More info: www.FundRagerPdx.com
A costume dance party benefiting the Oncology Youth Connection (OYC) is scheduled for Saturday, October 29th at a 114 year-old warehouse beneath the Fremont Bridge in North Portland.
Dubbed a ¬Å“Fund-rager¬Â, the event will feature fire dancers, aerial performances from AWOL Productions and dance hits from DJ Mello and OG One. On the night of the event, spotlights in the sky will signal guests to the party location.
The party is being thrown by Mason Davis and John Cooper, who met this summer volunteering their efforts for the Children's Cancer Association. They are two of the organizers behind the annual Music as Medicine fundraiser, which this year drew 700 guests and raised over $40,000 for local kids and teens battling life-threatening diseases.
Cooper, of Media Drink, and Davis, of Jive Software, said throwing this party fills the void for young professionals in Portland looking to celebrate Halloween in the most memorable way possible. By targeting an emerging demographic for philanthropy, they are bringing together the right crowd, at the right time, for the right reasons.
Davis, a 29-year-old Cancer survivor, said they were pondering a Halloween ¬Å“Fund-rager¬Â when he met the OYC. ¬Å“They invited me out for a good time. I met everyone, shared stories, made friends. Then - only one week later - I learned that a new acquaintance, Steve Wentworth, was re-diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. That alone made the decision to throw the party pretty easy. It's going to be a celebration. We're going big!¬Â
The OYC is a nonprofit whose mission is to support young people challenged with cancer by providing a community of peers to inspire resilience during and after treatment. Founded in 2008, the OYC is a young organization looking to dramatically broaden the awareness of their cause in the young adult audience we anticipate.
Grant Roesler, founder of the OYC, says he is excited about the opportunity to grow their footprint in the community. ¬Å“The event really is a perfect match for us,¬Â said Roesler. ¬Å“It is young people helping young people. And it’s a great way to show that getting a cancer diagnosis in your young-adult years can’t keep you from making great memories or having an awesome time.¬Â
Backed by personal capital and sponsorship from Widmer Brewing, Apex Real Estate, Power Plumbing, Jillian Rabe LLC, AWOL Productions and Flame-boyant, they are aiming to raise funds and volunteer power for the OYC. The party is available to anyone 21+ or over and alcoholic drinks are inclusive with a ticket purchase. Tickets are on promotion for $50 each at www.FundRagerPdx.com.

October 20, 2011 at 18:14
Most of of the fun people I know are leaving town to go to Vegas for a zombie wedding…. And, yet, I will be here in Portland instead. My first Halloween in years that I won’t have 3 different parties to hop to and party with friends. Clearly, I need this shindig, so that I can meet more friends! Plus – I’m a sucker for fire dancers.
October 20, 2011 at 18:26
Want to go because I love dressing up for holloween, love fire dancers, love aerial performers, & love parties!!!!thanks
October 20, 2011 at 18:40

October 21, 2011 at 01:40
A party in an old warehouse. What could go wrong?
October 21, 2011 at 08:05
Fire dancers and aerial performers – I HAVE to see this. Please send me!! Especially for such a great cause.
October 21, 2011 at 08:20
I mix chemotherapy at an OHSU oncology clinic and volunteer at Doernbecher Childrens’ Hospital. I’ve seen firsthand the havoc that cancer can wreak on not only the patient but the families as well. I’d like to dance in solidarity for my patients! If I could afford it I’d already be there! Thank you for this opportunity.
October 21, 2011 at 09:51
Looking to get out for some fun….
October 21, 2011 at 10:15
I want to go boogie this Halloween, and this sounds like a great place to do it!
October 21, 2011 at 11:03
Sounds like a blast. Always a place in my heart for those battling cancer. Now I need to find an amazing costume.
October 21, 2011 at 13:49
My favorite time of year plus my favorite holiday! Please pick me!
October 21, 2011 at 16:45
This event sounds like so much fun! My boyfriend is being cheap so I need to win tickets otherwise I’m stuck at home! :(
October 21, 2011 at 16:51
Been looking around at what party to go to this Halloween and this one sounds super fun! Free tickets would make it even better. :D
October 22, 2011 at 12:51
I am coming to Portland from Pullman, WA. I was there for brewfest and it was amazing. I love Portland. If I could get free tickets it would be even better. There is no comparing the city to my town.
October 22, 2011 at 18:54
sounds like a great party for a good cause!
October 23, 2011 at 12:26
My birthday is on Halloween and I do research on people living with cancer… it’s a match made in heaven! If i could afford to buy tickets to support this cause, I would definitely do so, but I am supporting two people on a ridiculously low salary right now. I would love to be able to attend this event!
October 23, 2011 at 18:35
The 29th is my best friends birthday and tickets to the People Under the Bridge fund rager would be the most AMAZING birthday present/celebration ever!!! And the fact that it supports the OYC sort of makes this the most badass Halloween party this year. :)
October 23, 2011 at 18:39
This is my first Halloween outside of Alaska, so show me what a real party is! I also work with children so supporting children’s oncology means a lot to me.
October 23, 2011 at 20:21
Just wanted to let you guys know that these comments are awesome! I think we’ll extend the give away till mid week to encourage more people to “share” this with their friends.
Can’t wait for the 29th! It’s going to be rad.
Best,
Mason
October 23, 2011 at 22:09
My girlfriend is an aerial performer at this event and I really want to go support her and a great cause, but don’t have the money! Please send me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 23, 2011 at 23:08
i’m a cancer survivor, i’d love to rage and fund and dance for a cause so dear to my surviving heart.
October 24, 2011 at 09:23
Friends are in town from Cali and Seattle! Want to show them what’s up in Portland. Also, live down the street, we can all walk there!
October 24, 2011 at 11:13
Fire! Fire! Fire!
October 24, 2011 at 16:11
SPOTLIGHT!
I have never EVER been to a Halloween party, nor dressed in costume as an adult. After separating from my husband of nine difficult years, I am liberated! My girl friend and I have our costumes picked out and we are making a night of it! Would LOVE to win tickets <3

October 24, 2011 at 16:19
The pdxpipeline website states tix are $50 but on oregon tickets they are $60. Clarify, pretty please? THANKS!
October 24, 2011 at 16:33
Hi Cheryn, tickets ARE $50 if you buy 5 at a time, and regularly priced @ $60. However, we are still running our $20 off promotion which you can activate by entering SPOTLIGHT into the promo field.
Does that make sense?
Lastly, here’s the event on Facebook. Please “invite” your friends and share it as you please!

Help an unemployed girl out with free tix. I even made a rad costume from stuff I found at goodwill.
October 25, 2011 at 22:14

October 25, 2011 at 22:32
I want to see some fire dancing!
October 26, 2011 at 11:48
Ok! So first I have never seen fire dancers before, second this is my first Halloween in great Portland, third I have gone through the toughest period in my life to be here today, fourth I don’t know anybody in Oregon and the reason that made me move here is I passed it while traveling one day and everybody was nice with me unlike where I used to live-Oklahoma î“, fifth I don’t have a girlfriend and been trying so hard but it’s like the God of sucka bum preventing me from finding the right oneîˆ,for all of the above reasons can you please mend my broken heart with Halloween joy and send me a ticket! May be I will meet somebodyîÂ’ØŒthank you
October 26, 2011 at 11:54
philanthropy, zombies, fire, and a packed warehouse? Color me stoked (and gory)! Pleeeease pick me!
October 26, 2011 at 14:15
Because i’ve met Mason probably 10 plus times with my friend Chuck, but he always forgets me, yet we have all mutual friends. he owes me. hahaha sounds fun!
October 26, 2011 at 15:00
I would love to be a part of this event. I am a chef in Vancouver wa, work long hours and get few days off. Not only am I under paid, but I’m due for some fun. Please give me an opportunity to celebrate this event. I’m low on funds, but high on life. Thank you.
October 26, 2011 at 15:30
This sounds EPIC!!!
October 26, 2011 at 15:59
I’d love the chance to dance the night away in support of the kids. What better way to stand up against cancer and rally for those who fight the awful battle daily! What a thrilling night (I hope to attend)!
October 26, 2011 at 17:02
My fiance and I just moved to Portland and don’t know any places to go yet. He’s from Italy and has never experienced an American Halloween… well, any Halloween really! We need to show him a good time!!
October 27, 2011 at 11:12

October 27, 2011 at 12:07
This sounds amazing! I would love to go! I need a place to show off my Jessica rabbit costume :D
October 27, 2011 at 16:29
Fire dancers! And we live close-ish.
October 27, 2011 at 16:41
I haven’t been to a big Halloween party in years, and really want to do it up big this year!! I love dressing up in costume, love watching fire dancers, aerial performers & live music, and what’s even better is that all the proceeds are going to a great cause like the Oncology Youth Connection!!
October 27, 2011 at 17:30
I lost my best friend last year to cancer and have been a big supporter of non-profits that are committed to education and support of young people challenged with cancer. I love what OYC is doing and would love to be a part. And the event sounds like it’s going to be a blast!
October 27, 2011 at 17:33
Because cancer sucks and I am going as Wonder woman, a dude as wonder woman, Who better to fight cancer!
October 27, 2011 at 17:36
I love warehouse parties, dancing, aerialists, fire dancers, and kicking cancer’s ass. This would be a perfect way to spend Halloween!
October 27, 2011 at 17:56
Can’t afford to do anything fun saturday night, and my friend is in town! Please send us to this, it sounds awesome!
October 27, 2011 at 19:09
Fire dancers sounds AMAZING!! And I won’t be able to go unless I win free tickets!
October 27, 2011 at 19:56
I got to be there!!!! I have the most amazing costume, and would love to see the fire dancers… Please, please, please….
October 28, 2011 at 00:40
I have this “Thing” where I like to follow lights in the sky
October 28, 2011 at 00:47
We spent all our money on costumes, so unless we win tickets to something, we’ll just have to go scare little children till they pee their pants. Which will be hard, because our costumes aren’t scary. Thanks for awesome tickets pdx pipeline! Hope to see you under the bridge
October 28, 2011 at 02:34
oooooh, I want to see fire dancers!
October 28, 2011 at 07:44
I’m a cancer buddy with the Childrens Cancer Association. My little “buddy” asked me what I was doing and I told her I was going to dress up like her favorite Mario character (Luigi) and dance with fire dancers to raise money for her. The only problem is that I have no money! PLEASE help me out here.
October 28, 2011 at 08:22
My boyfriend is leaving for Afghanistan for a year…we need to have fun before he leaves next week!
October 28, 2011 at 08:24
I lost a grandchild to cancer and love to support all venues that assist with cures for this horrible disease! I am unemployed right now & funds are slim, however if I win this Immoral Seductress would love to open a portal with firedancers to transmute this diseases from earth forever!
October 28, 2011 at 08:49
I’d like to go because it benefits a great cause and sounds like something new and different.
October 28, 2011 at 10:03
Great cause, I’d love to attend.
October 28, 2011 at 10:13
I would like to go because I have never seen fire dancers, and love what this event is supporting
October 28, 2011 at 10:20
This would be a great show/event to see
October 28, 2011 at 10:41
It would be a true honor to win tickets to such a cool event for such a worthy cause.
