Proceeds from the event will benefit The Environmental Center, a local nonprofit that embeds sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon. Now in their 33rd year, The Environmental Center has served as a regional hub for environmental education, engagement, and action.
“We picked the still from the documentary Janwaar, a film about the power of a community skate park in India, as the image to use in promotions because it just gave us such a joyful feeling when we looked at it,” said Priscilla Calleros, events and outreach manager at The Environmental Center. “And that’s exactly the purpose of an event like this: to come together and experience joy, sadness, whatever the film evokes and inspires, as a community. I think these experiences stick with us long after the film is over.”
This event is sponsored by The Gear Fix.
