This year's Ignite was our most successful gala in Basic Rights Oregon's history! Over 950 guests gathered at the Portland Art Museum to celebrate LGBT equality and demonstrated stellar support for Basic Rights and the freedom to marry with gifts totaling over $460,000!

Thank you to our generous donors, to this year's Ign​ite Co-Chairs, Robert Goman & Stephen Marc Beaudoin, and to the volunteer planning committee who made it all possible!

About Oregon United For Marriage
We believe marriage and family are about love and commitment, working together, bettering the community, raising children, and growing old together. We believe in an Oregon that supports strong families and values freedom and equality. And we believe that marriage matters. To all Oregonians.

We are united in our belief that allowing marriage licenses for same-sex couples strengthens families and strengthens the state we love. And, we are united in our hope that the people of Oregon will join us in supporting the freedom to marry for all of Oregon’s loving, committed same-sex couples.

Oregon United for Marriage is a broad coalition of individuals and organizations working to win the freedom to marry for same-sex couples in Oregon. Learn more and get involved at www.oregonunitedformarriage.org
