Parking: Plenty of free street parking around the area. Vancouver Center Building has a “Park & Go” garage located at 6th Street between Columbia and Washington. Fees are $1.25 an hour. Parking is similar to downtown Portland’s Pay & Display parking. Pay at the meter for the amount of time needed and simply attach the receipt to the driver’s side window. Additional parking available on first-come, first-serve at the 4th street lot (one block south of the hotel). Hotel valet parking available for a fee.
Dress: Boots & Bowties is all about FUN. So, mix cocktail attire with your favorite outdoor gear. Example: Last year, one couple showed up in full-on lederhosen. Another accessorized their gown with a climbing rope. And yet another with a snorkel. Anything goes!
Menu
Main: Balsamic Glazed Roasted Beef Brisket with a glazed peppercorn pan jus reduction, season vegetable, and white cheddar mashed potatoes.
Dessert: Bid with your table guests for the sugar sweetness of your choice during our Dessert Dash!
Have a special menu request? If you or any of your guests prefer a vegetarian or vegan dish, or have dietary restrictions, please email details by Tuesday, 10/16 to: courtney@simplepleasuresevents.com
EVENT PROGRAM & ENTERTAINMENT
RAFFLE GAMES + SILENT & LIVE AUCTION
Your contribution during the event gives you the chance to win monumentally-cool item bundles and a whole lot more! Plus, during our live auction, bid on exclusive items like weekend getaways and Mount St. Helens bucket list excursions.
LIVE AUCTION ITEMS (as of Monday, 10/15/18 – Items could change on DOE)
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
During the program, you’ll learn how your dollars make an impact. We kindly ask you to consider what you’re able to give, because it really does make a difference for our small but mighty organization.
For example, your generous support helps MSHI bring more young people to our world-famous volcano. Through this experience, they gain a greater appreciation of our public lands, acquire lifelong critical thinking and leadership skills, and learn how our connection to the Earth shapes the future for generations to come.
Every level of support influences our ability to serve our community. Join us in our journey to move mountains!

Start your night off with a tasty cocktail or glass of pinot, bid on some incredible silent auction items, schmooze with other movers and shakers who support science and our public lands, and oh...yeah. We almost forgot: Slide on a pair of mud boots with your favorite suit, or pull out the gowns and gaiters for a night you'll always remember. Because this is no ordinary gala. This is Boots & Bowties!

MSHI serves over 100,000 children and adults annually through our youth education programs, hiking and climbing adventures, and volunteer/stewardship efforts. We need your help to continue to provide programming to enrich visitor experiences and inspire future scientists at Mount St. Helens.
Break out your best suit, dress, and hiking boots for this one-of-a-kind fundraising dinner. Ideal for organizations looking for fun, fresh ways to entertain clients, reconnect with friends, and play a big role in funding programs that transform thousands of youth and underserved people in our community. We welcome both cash and/or in-kind contributions.
