A Word In Edgewise, Inc. (AWIE) in 2011, will continue
to contribute items or services throughout the year,
to local not-for-profits whose mission includes promoting
acceptance, equality, safety or education for our youth.
- In 2010, AWIE donated printing of business cards for the Sexual Minority Youth Resource Center (SMYRC), posters for Vancouver PRIDE, banner layouts for the Gay Mens Chorus Gay Fair on the Square event, and layout and printing for the PABA Tropicana Nights annual event and donated an item to that event’s Silent Auction.
- AWIE has been a Portland Area Business Association (PABA) member for six years and Christopher Reed served for a time on their Board of Directors. We are also members of the Portland International District Business Association in our NE Portland Roseway neighborhood.
We also support HRC, BRO, Portland’s Q-Center, SMYRC, GLSEN, and Manifest Mens Wellness Community in an effort to offer everyone a safe, friendly community – and world – in which to live and thrive. We guarantee confidentiality in all areas of business we conduct.
Christopher H. Reed, CEO, sat for five years on the Board of Directors with the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center (OHRC). The OHRC is an educational institution focusing on teaching lessons from the Holocaust and applying those lessons to middle and high school students in Oregon and Southwest Washington. In addition, the OHRC is the steward for the Oregon Holocaust Memorial in Washington Park, Portland, Oregon. One of the few Memorials to recognize all victims of the Holocaust, including, priests, Gypsies, handicapped, Russian POWs, and those in the homosexual community, this Memorial is truly connected to our community.AWIE produced and donated a Virtual Tour of the Memorial, available for viewing on their site. In Addition, we designed, hosted and maintained the OHRC Web sites as a community service. If you have a group of five or more individuals, the OHRC can arrange to have a docent give a guided tour of the Memorial. If you would like a personal tour, call Chris directly to arrange it.
