Celebrate 10 years of YTP with our annual Hope for the Holidays party. We’re thrilled to gather again in Portland for a festive evening benefiting The Yellow Tulip Project. Join us as we celebrate how far we’ve come, honor the people who have made it possible, and raise funds to keep spreading hope, amplifying youth voices, and smashing mental health stigma. Let’s toast to our community and all we can make possible together in the next 10 years!

What to expect:

Private takeover of Canopy Hotel's Salt Yard restaurant in downtown Portland
Festive decor at one of Portland's coolest event venues
Craft seasonal cocktails and hors d'oeuvres
150+ people who care about YTP's mission

We also run an online auction in tandem with the event to help raise funds for YTP. Vacation rentals, sports tickets, gift certificates, or anything you or your business can contribute would be greatly appreciated. For more info about contributing an item to our auction, click here.
