Rockin’ the house for Doernbecher
Unions for Kids got an early start on its 10th annual fundraiser for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital with a performance
Dec. 13 by Norman Sylvester and his band at the Original Roadhouse Grill in Gresham (standing above with vocalist
Sarah Billings). Sylvester, a member of Musicians Local 99, played pro bono and the restaurant donated 20 percent of
the night’s proceeds to the cause. “When Norman found out that our group was all volunteer to benefit the kids at
Doernbecher, he wouldn’t accept payment,” said Lee Duncan, a member of IBEW Local 48 and president of the non-
profit Unions for Kids. The fundraiser itself is a motorcycle poker run and motorcycle raffle. Last year’s event raised
$50,000. Since its inception, Unions for Kids has contributed $271,000 to Doernbecher. This year’s poker run is scheduled
for June 9 at IBEW Local 48’s hall in Northeast Portland. Tickets are now on sale for a chance to win a “Big Blue” 2012
Heritage Softail Classic Harley-Davidson. In celebration of the 10th anniversary, the motorcycle will be autographed
by Willie G. Davidson, the grandson
of Harley-Davidson co-founder
William A. Davidson and the
company’s senior vice president and
chief styling officer. Tickets are $10
each, with only 5,000 sold. Tickets are
now available at IBEW and United
Workers Federal Credit Union, 9955
SE Washington St., Portland;
