SMART Gala V: Samba at Sunset

Join us August 9 for SMART Gala V: Samba at Sunset, a rooftop samba party featuring dancing, Brazilian appetizers and drinks. The evening will feature entertainment by Portland's own Lions of Batucada - a Brazilian-styled marching samba ensemble with costumed and choreographed samba dancers.

Funds raised will support SMART (Start Making A Reader Today). SMART partners with several Portland Metro schools to deliver proven literacy support to more than 3,500 K-3 children every year. Participating children also receive 14 new books to keep and read with their families, which are often the only books in the home. SMART’s vision is an Oregon where every child can read and is empowered to succeed.
