Spotlight on Giving: With Courage

When McMinnville resident Caitlin Sticka was diagnosed with breast cancer, she faced many trips to Portland for medical care and support services. However, Caitlin's multiple and lengthy trips to Portland soon became daunting. She sought out local resources and discovered that support for breast cancer patients in Yamhill County was very limited . Based on her own experience, Caitlin took the initiative to create a support group in her community. That organization, With Courage, is now providing much needed and greatly appreciated support for women facing cancer in Yamhill County.

Spotlight on Giving: The Elsinore

Did you know that the Elsinore is named after the City of Elsinore in Shakespeare's Hamlet? Since arising in 1926 on a former livery stable site, the castle-like Elsinore Theater has served our community as a truly unique performing arts center. This architectural and acoustic wonderland houses the largest pipe organ in the Pacific NW and is a registered Historic National Landmark.

Salem's Cultural Center

The Elsinore has hosted events ranging from Cecille B DeMille silent movies, Mickey Mouse Theater, James Earl Jones, and Clark Gable. In recent years the Theater annually welcomes over 100 events including our own Salem Symphony, Dwight Yoakum and George Lopez. Funded by an endowment, the Elsinore manages a variety of programs that provide thousands of young people a positive experience with plays, music, education and more.

A Legacy of Community Support

The Historic Elsinore Theater is a non profit organization whose mission is to "promote, protect and preserve". In 1980, grassroots efforts led by the Save The Elsinore Committee raised funds needed to purchase the Elsinore and save it from from demolition. Massive restorations have followed including a $3.2 million dollar restoration led by the Architect firm Curry Bradshaw. Brett served on the Board during the capital raise and renovation. The Davis Altman Group continues to be a long time donor to the Elsinore, having hosted client events and sponsoring concerts at this historic venue.

How to Help:

• Sponsor a Concert or Performance Series

• Matching Gift to Oregon Cultural Trust

• Donate to the educational Endowment Fund

• Become a member of the Hamlet Society

Spotlight on Giving Newsletter: The Liberty House

The mission of the Spotlight on Giving Newsletter is to share with you the special work of non-profit service groups in our community.  Today we are spotlighting the Liberty House. 

Since 1999, the Liberty House has been offering a safe, comfortable, child friendly environment for children and their families facing concerns of abuse, neglect, trauma or grief.  The Liberty House serves children from birth to 18 years old.  Those services are voluntary and free of cost to the family. 

When a child arrives at the Liberty House they are met by compassionate, professionally trained staff. Medical providers conduct a complete medical exam.  Counselors interview the children and help them talk about what has happened to them in a non-judgmental and sensitive matter.   All services are coordinated with local law and welfare agencies to insure the highest level of support to the child and their families.  

In addition to assessment services, the Liberty House provides follow-up mental health services for the child and caregiver.  Resources and information are available to the family as well as to all members of our community.  

Their motto, Change Hurt into Hope, defines their mission.  The Covid pandemic has unfortunately added to increased instances of child abuse and abandonment.  The timing of Spotlighting the Liberty House is especially important in these times.  

The Davis Altman Group has made donations to Liberty House in the past and will continue to do so in the future.   How-to-help opportunities also include becoming a volunteer or participating in a variety of special events.   Contact the Liberty House to learn more about this organization  and how you can provide support.
