YOU ARE INVITED!

Whether you have been a long-time supporter of HOLLA, or are new to our community, we invite you to join us for an evening to experience Joy Unleashed and celebrate the power and potential of Black, Brown, and Indigenous youth.

Experience Joy UNLEASHED ON MAY 2nd, 2026 AT 6:30PM

Join us at the beautiful Easton Broad, 237 NE Broadway UNIT 300, Portland, OR 97232, for an unforgettable evening filled with delicious food, live music, and inspiring stories of HOLLA and our mission.

HOLLA is committed to this work, and we are deeply grateful for supporters like you who stand in solidarity with us to keep it moving forward. The challenges are immense, but we are choosing joy and unleashing it boldly. Joy grows when it is bigger than any one of us.

Unleash Joy with us, and let’s celebrate together!
