In Our World

Incight and DePaul Industries announces that their first joint fundraising event, the Country Harvest Celebration, held Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 6:00 pm at the Oregon Convention Center, netted a record-breaking $210,000. The benefit dinner and celebration, featuring keynote speaker Gary Guller, and Erin Riehle, founder of Project Search, is an important source of funding for providing educational and employment opportunities for people with disabilities to become active members of the community.

The Standard and Safeway Foundation were co-presenting sponsors of the event at $20,000.  These two organizations — along with 29 additional sponsoring companies—were excited about Incight and DePaul’s innovative approach in working together. By teaming up, DePaul Industries and Incight believe they can—individually and collectively—dramatically enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
