A Letter From Our Prime Minister
Dear Rosarian Members and Friends,
Welcome to the 17th Annual Hearts and Roses Auction! The annual auction is the primary source of funding for the Royal Rosarian Foundation. The Royal Rosarian Foundation's mission is to support the best interests of the Royal Rosarians, the City of Portland and the Portland Rose Festival. This year, due to COVID concerns, we are doing our auction virtually!
The Royal Rosarian Foundations’ budget supports many enrichment programs for children at risk. Some of these programs include Christmas for Kids, the Royal Rosarian Field Trip Program, the Community Transitional School, and the Ethos Music program. Additionally, the Royal Rosarians are proud to be supporters of the Portland Rose Festival Foundation, providing grants that help to support various programs, and also produce a float for the Grand Floral Parade. As the official ambassadors of Goodwill for the City of Portland, we also attend out of town festivals with our traveling float, representing the City of Portland and the Portland Rose Festival.
We look forward to 2021 with the hope our community becomes stronger as we move past so many challenges faced during 2020. We look to you, our friends, for your help to support us as we continue to provide funding to the programs that help so many students at risk, and our City of Roses. Thank you so much for your support! We could not do it without your help!
From our hearts, to yours,
2021 Prime Minister Korrie Hoeckendorf and First Squire Alan
