Our Friends of SAGE Metro Portland Awards program will premiere on YouTube at 6pm tonight, Friday, June 25th! Join us for heartwarming stories about our LGBT+ heroes and their impact on our community! Click here to watch!

SAGE Metro Portland, a program of Friendly House, is proud to announce our 2021 Friends of SAGE Award winners! These awards honor and celebrate those in our community who are making a difference in the lives of LGBT older adults.

Again this year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to hold our award ceremony and fundraising event in person.  Instead we ask that you  join us on Friday, June 25 at 6 pm for our awards presentation. We will be sharing a short program sharing stories, tributes, and our winner's acceptance speeches.

The Friends of SAGE Awards is SAGE Metro Portland's biggest fundraiser of the year. Please help us continue to serve our  LGBT older adults by making a donation to SAGE Metro Portland during the months of May and June. To learn more about SAGE Metro Portland and our work please visit our website.
