Lilith Fair Chooses Bradley Angle as Benefit Charity!
We did it! Lilith Fair, the festival that celebrates women in music, has announced that they have chosen Bradley Angle to receive $1 from every ticket sold to their July 2nd show at the The Amphitheater at Clark County. The announcement comes after a multi-round Facebook competition which asked fans to vote for their favorite charity.
“We were thrilled to see the community come together to root for Bradley Angle, and then to be chosen by Sarah McLachlan and the folks at Lilith Fair for this honor,” says Mary Dzieweczynski, Executive Director of Bradley Angle. “We extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who voted and to Lilith Fair for helping survivors and their families have a place to go, be safe, heal, discover empowerment, and find hope.”

Reasons to Celebrate
From our Executive Director
Lately, it seems we have had one reason to celebrate after another: Fowzia Abdulle, Bradley Angle staff, received the Skidmore Prize; a male joined our board for the first time; we launched a great new website; and both the Rotary Club of Portland and the Meyer Memorial Trust recently stepped up with significant grants in support of our work. Another reason to celebrate is that one of our transitional housing programs, the Andrea Lee, has moved! In partnership with Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives, Inc (PCRI), a nonprofit community development corporation, we have successfully secured apartment units within walking distance to the Healing Roots Center, located at Killingsworth and Alberta Avenues.
On October 12, 2004, I became intimately acquainted with Bradley Angle. I left my boyfriend of four years on the 10th with two kids, a stroller, a diaper bag, and the clothes we were wearing. My 17-year-old son had fled to a teen shelter three days before and decided to stay there for a while, so it was me and an 11-year-old and a 3-year-old. We had nowhere to go, and I had no idea what to do next.… MORE >
