Wine & Paint Night Fundraiser

Wine & Paint Night Fundraiser is a charity paint-and-sip event held on April 13, 2026, at Battle Creek Cellars in Portland, Oregon — organized by the Portland chapter of the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) to raise funds for the Ada Keshishyants Social Rehabilitation Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities. The fundraising campaign set a goal of $2,000, which had already been exceeded at $2,300 raised as of the campaign's final days.

The Wine & Paint Night Fundraiser serves as the closing night of SOAR Portland's 2026 raffle campaign, combining a guided painting session with wine, snacks, and a raffle entry. Every event ticket purchased includes one raffle ticket, painting supplies, snacks, and drinks. Raffle tickets are also available separately, priced at $25 for 1 ticket, $100 for 5 tickets, $150 for 10 tickets, and $250 for 20 tickets — with larger bundles offering proportionally better value per entry.

Proceeds from the event and raffle benefit school supplies for children attending the Ada Keshishyants Center, a rehabilitation facility serving children with developmental disabilities. SOAR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. The event begins at 5:30 PM on April 13 at Battle Creek Cellars. For questions, attendees can contact the organizers directly at [email protected].

Battle Creek Cellars provides a winery setting for an evening that pairs casual creative activity with charitable giving. The Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief describes itself as the world's only charitable organization devoted exclusively to helping orphaned Armenian children, operating across multiple countries and institutions. Attendees support a specific, named beneficiary rather than a general fund.
