The Helping Hand
That is Your Own
On behalf of the board of direc­
tors of the Black United Fund of
Oregon (BUFO) I want to express
our sincere appreciation to everyone
who invested their resources in the
form of ideas, skills, energy, mater
ials, time and money to make the
BUFO's 1987 fundraising campaign
a successful one.
The contributions form the em­
ployees at Portland Public Schools,
St. Andrew’s Legal Clinic, Portland
Community College, IBM Corpora
tion, N/NE Community Mental
Health Clinic, and Tri-Met are espe
cially important to us because the
BUFO has worked very hard to gain
equal access to workplace solicita­
tion, in an effort to provide employ­
ees with more charitable giving op­
tions at their workplace.
Your contribution demonstrates
your commitment to self-help
through self-investment and your
willingness to assist those less for­
tunate than you are.
We also want to acknowledge
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for their
generous contribution and the Ore­
gon Alliance of Black School Edu­
cators for their support. In truth,
the BUFO could not have survived
its critical first year had it not been
for the help received from many
places.
The successful inclusion of the
BUFO in the marketplace of private
sector and government employees
has had, and will continue to have,
a dramatic impact on our ability
to provide meaningful and tangible
support for a wide range of pro­
grams that otherwise would receive
little or no funding.
If the BUFO is to have the impact
that our challenge demands and the
importance that our mission de­
serves, we cannot remain Oregon s
best kept secret. We therefore ask
that you share your knowledge and
support of the BUFO with others.
Encouraging the community at
every economic level to contribute
a small portion of their resources to
support community programs is a
critical step in moving the Black
community towards social and eco­
nomic self-sufficiency.
We believe that the BUFO and
this form of self investment will help
break the cycle and pattern of eco­
nomic dependency and social
powerlessness that have character­
ized Black organizations and com
munities.
As we begin our second year, we
hope that you are as proud of us
as we are of you.
