Night on the Estuary: DERT's Annual Fundraising Dinner

Join the Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team (DERT) as we celebrate 15 years of advocacy for the removal of the 5th Ave Dam and all of the successes along the way.

Enjoy an evening of live music and good food - and don't forget to bring your competitive spirit! We will have both a live and silent auction, plus several raffle baskets up for grabs!

Dress Code: Get fancy with us and make this a night to remember - please arrive in semi-formal attire. No need to break out the tuxedos and ball gowns, but we would love to see suit jackets and cocktail dresses! Commemorate the night and your sweet digs at our Polaroid photo booth.

This year we will be featuring a specialty bar menu designed by local bartender Richard Williams. All proceeds will go to DERT! Make sure to purchase a ticket level that includes drink tickets if you want them! Additional drink tickets and non-alcoholic beverages will be available at the event.

We strive to be dietary restriction inclusive. There will be several vegan, gluten-free, and/or vegetarian options. However, vegan + gluten free options are limited. Please contact us directly if this will affect you.

We are excited to welcome Rep. Beth Doglio and Rep. Lisa Parshley as our live auctioneers this year! You won't want to miss LD 22's dream team in action.

Now that Estuary Restoration is slated to take place, we continue to engage public officials, tribes, agencies, non-profits, schools, and the broader community in support of a healthy and community managed watershed. We also provide feedback on environmental legislation and restoration projects with direction from the Squaxin Island Tribe. Our education and outreach efforts center around issues of water quality, salmon health, climate change, environmental justice, and biocultural restoration, and include workshops, community forums, tabling events, and generating media content.

Your help is critical to our success– thank you for your continued dedication to the restoration of the Deschutes Estuary.
