What does it look like when a neurodivergent child begins to believe in themselves?

It looks like a student setting a goal — and having their effort recognized.
It looks like a classroom where learning differences are supported, not sidelined.
It looks like confidence growing, one small success at a time.

On Thursday, April 23rd, we invite you to join us for The Shadow Project’s Power of Potential Gala at Jupiter NEXT in Portland from 5–9 p.m.

A Night of Purpose and Possibility

This evening brings together families, educators, business leaders, and community members who believe every child deserves to feel capable and seen at school. Led by our lively emcee, Geof Garner, and featuring an incredible educator and champion for students, Jen Ayers, this is a program you won’t want to miss. 

You’ll experience the fun while exploring elements of our work firsthand — from a fully immersive SuperSensory Space, a calming, structured area inside a school where students can reset and have their sensory needs met, to seeing just how Learning Ally boosts independent reading.

Dinner will be catered by Ohana Hawaiian Café.

Every dollar raised supports The Shadow Project’s programs in schools across Oregon and Washington, helping students who learn differently develop confidence, resilience, and pride in their progress.

We would be honored to have you with us.
