Portland Thorns FC head coach Mark Parsons and players Crystal Dunn and Lindsey Horan will be part of a fundraising event on February 27, 2021, with proceeds supporting the Portland Thorns Academy.
An Evening With the Best of Oregon — a remote event scheduled for 7 PM until 9 PM — will feature curated selections from the Best of Oregon's wine, beer, bread, cheese, salt, nut, charcuterie, coffee, cider, olive oil, chocolate and more, with all packages available for delivery or pickup at Providence Park.
In addition to special guests from the Thorns and the food and beverage brands, the entertaining night will feature a DJ, trivia competitions, a magician to the stars and an auction. The auction will include a variety of special items and experiences, including an opportunity to bid on a personal training session with new Thorn's midfielder and U.S. National Team member Crystal Dunn. Auction bidding is open to all, ticket and non-ticket holders.
A portion of An Evening With the Best of Oregon ticket cost is tax deductible, with money raised going directly toward reducing fees for Thorns Academy players.
