Dear supporters of Capaces,

We thank you for supporting Capaces Leadership Institute’s 15th Anniversary and Annual Benefit Celebration which took place on September 19th, 2026 at Chemeketa Eola.

People like you – movement leaders, founders, youth, program participants, local business owners and employees, educational institutions, artists, supporters and many others – came together in celebration of our organization’s quinceañera and our event theme, “Honrando Nuestras Raíces”.

We are now $3000 away from our $50,000 fundraising goal! Can you help us get there? 

We invite you to make a donation online or via check (made payable to Capaces Leadership Institute and mailed to 356 Young Street, Woodburn, Oregon, 97071). 

If you would like to make a donation in another format, please respond to this email so we can get in touch with you. We are deeply grateful for your support.
