Stand Together Week
The Portland Timbers, along with Stand Together Week sponsors JELD-WEN Windows & Doors, Alaska Airlines, adidas, Fred Meyer, and KPTV, are organizing Stand Together Week 2012 as a call to action to get involved in our community.
Running from October 8-14, 2012, the week will consist of 30-40 volunteer projects with various nonprofit organizations throughout the city, and will engage 1,000 supporters, including Timbers players, coaches, ambassadors and front office staff. Each project will have a meaningful impact on the community with an overall focus on benefitting youth and the environment.
Click here to browse the 40+ projects and sign up today for the opportunity to volunteer alongside a Portland Timbers player, ambassador, or Timber Joey! Stand Together Week participants will also get an official Stand Together scarf and adidas drawstring bag as a thank you for stepping up to support volunteerism.
Give. Unite. Inspire.
All projects require a $30 registration fee per volunteer, which serves as a donation to Hands On Greater Portland to help cover the cost of organizing this week of service.
