Events / Portland Socks, Skates & Coffee for Haiti
Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Make Saturday a fun, Haiti-helpin' night out. Stop by the Fresh Pot on N. Mississippi for a quadruple-shot pick-me-up. They are donating 10 percent of all their profits from Saturday to Partners in Health, who provide medical care to the victims of the Haiti quake.
All sweaty and caff-ed up! Wear some crazy socks and join Sock it to Me socks for Knee-Highs for Haiti at Oaks Park Roller Rink. It's after-hours skate fun with a DJ, the Rose City Rollers, and dishy desserts. There'll be goodie giveaways, including socks, Oaks Park passes, roller skates, gift certificates, T-shirts, and tons more. Buy some cute socks while you're at it—Sock it to Me will have a sales booth set up and they're donating all of the night's proceeds to help Haiti through Portland's the Mangrove Fund.
