A Community of Superheroes

On April 29 and 30 Project Lemonade held its 2nd Annual Superhero Event for Foster Youth.

200 foster youth and families attended the event and were able to shop alongside their favorite superheroes including Black Panther, Spider Man, Wonder Woman, Batman and Supergirl!

For youth, clothing is a major source of confidence and identity. For foster youth, who often leave home with few belongings, being able to choose their own clothing helps to regain a sense of self.

Thanks to the community of Superheroes who made this event possible: Marley Jo Balloons (installation funded in part by the Regional Arts and Culture Council), CG Entertainment, Red Shoe Productions, Fox 12 Oregon, every foster youth and family that attended, and Project Lemonade donors and volunteers. Thank you!
