A Letter From Prime Minister John Danielson
Dear Rosarian Members, Friends and Supporters,
Welcome to the 27th Annual Hearts and Roses Auction! This auction is the primary source of funding for the Royal Rosarian Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to support the best interests of the Royal Rosarians, the City of Portland and the Portland Rose Festival.
The Royal Rosarian Foundations’ budget supports enrichment programs for children at risk. Some of these programs include the Royal Rosarian Field Trip Program and the Community Transitional School. Additionally, the Royal Rosarians are proud to be a supporter of the Portland Rose Festival Foundation providing grants that help to support various programs such as producing a float for the Grand Floral Parade as well as supporting the Rose Festival Honors Program and Rose Festival Court outreach. The Foundation also annually supports Royal Rosarian programs such as the Queens Garden Party and the annual Rose Garden contest. As the official ambassadors of Goodwill for the City of Portland, we also attend out of town festivals with our traveling float, funded almost entirely by the Foundation.
We look to you, our friends, for your help to support us as we continue to provide funding to these programs that help so many students at risk, and our City of Roses with the hope our community will continue to become stronger as we move past the challenges faced during the last few years.
Thank you so much for your support! We could not do it without your help!
From our hearts, to yours,
2023 Prime Minister John Danielson
