Quest Center’s Annual Giving Gala

March 11, 2027

Quest’s annual fundraiser has become a joyful and impactful tradition, bringing together community members and supporters to celebrate the collective strength that makes our community so extraordinary.

This year, we gather at a critical moment. Oregon’s Medicaid system is facing a significant funding shortfall, while changes to Medicaid make healthcare harder to access for people who are already struggling to get the care they need. For Quest Center’s primary service communities - low-income, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, and people living with HIV - the consequences are profound. More barriers to care, and greater risk of being left behind.

Protecting access to safe and affirming healthcare is more urgent than ever. Quest provides integrated Medical and Behavioral Health services designed not only to meet our clients’ healthcare needs, but to create connection and opportunities for continual healing. We believe everyone deserves care that sees them, affirms them, and supports them in living fully as their authentic selves.

But we cannot do this work alone.

That’s why this year, we’re shooting for the stars and working toward a world where accessible, affirming healthcare for all is more than a dream.

Join us for an evening among the stars, Thursday, March 11th, 2027, as we celebrate our community and the vital role Quest plays in protecting our community’s fundamental rights to live well as their authentic selves. Your support helps ensure that, when healthcare systems fall short, people have somewhere to turn and a community that will stand with them.

Join us under the stars!
