2023 (all charities)
As the anticipation builds for the highly-anticipated upcoming charity event, organized by our dedicated team at Catalyst Financial NW, we eagerly look forward to the incredible impact it will have on the lives of those in need. This year, our focus is on supporting four remarkable charities: Boxes of Love, Echo Ranch, Transitional Youth, and My Father’s House.
2022 Transitional youth
The annual charity event held on July 15th, 2023, organized by Catalyst Financial NW, surpassed all expectations, raising an astounding amount of money for various charitable causes. Thanks to the unwavering support and generosity of the attendees, the event managed to raise over $50,000 for Transitional Youth and other charities, making it a resounding success.
2019 Annual Charity Event
On Monday, August 5th, 2019, we hosted our 6th Annual Catalyst Financial NW Charity Event, and it was a blast! We want to say a huge thank you to all who donated and participated. Over $32,000 was donated to our featured charities — Boxes of Love and Echo Ranch.
Boxes of Love cares for foster children and families, blessing them with a box of new clothes and other comfort items to call their own.
Echo Ranch offers a unique environment of support and encouragement to guests who have experienced trauma of some kind in their life. Guests are paired with a horse and a mentor to help them grow in trust and confidence.
Our Annual Charity Event includes golf for those interested, a delicious banquet, outstanding raffle prizes, and great opportunities to support our featured and past charities. Please click HERE to learn more about this year’s event!
2018 Annual Charity Event
On August 6th, 2018 Catalyst Financial hosted our 5th Annual Charity Event! We are proud to announce that together with our generous community and friends we raised over $26,000 this year! One hundred percent of the money raised went directly to our featured charity, Sanctuary Food Pantry, along with our past charities; Good News Community Health Center, My Father’s House, and the Boxes of Love Project.
Sanctuary Food Pantry, located in Gresham on Orient Drive, provides food and household support to the East County community year round. Volunteers work daily serving approximately 500 people every week, assisting individuals and families who need a ‘hand-up’ in weathering various life situations.
2017 Annual Charity Event
In 2017, our Annual Charity Event raised over $27,000 for the Good News Community Health Center! We can make a big difference in our community when we join together to care for our neighbors.
The Good News Community Health Center is a medical clinic located in Rockwood, Oregon, providing whole-person medical care to our low-income, refugee, and immigrant neighbors. They offer this care through a full-time medical clinic, along with mini-clinics, and many restorative programs. GNCHC offers compassionate restorative care to those who otherwise would not have access.
2016 Annual Charity Event
In 2016, Catalyst held our Annual Charity Event supporting My Father’s House. My Father’s House offers hope to homeless families through shelter, education, and job training. Their specialized program works with the entire family in securing jobs and finding housing of their own.
Through the generosity of our sponsors and participants, we were able to raise over $20,000 for My Father’s House! This money went a long way in giving hope to the homeless.
2015 Annual Charity Event
In 2015, Catalyst Financial NW held our Annual Charity Event, this time supporting Boxes of Love. The community saw the need to support this worthy cause, and through the Annual Charity Event which included a golf tournament, banquet, and raffle, we were able to raise $16,000 for Boxes of Love!
Boxes of Love provides local children who are being placed into foster care with a box of new clothing and other comfort items to call their own. It is the mission of the Boxes of Love Project to let these children know that they are loved, valued and special.
