Meet the Rose Festival Court
The 2016 Rose Festival Court is comprised of 15 outstanding young women chosen from Portland area high
schools. Court members receive one-on-one mentorship from top female executives, a $3,500 scholarship
provided by The Randall Group, a complete wardrobe including shoes and accessories, and a lifetime of
enduring friendships with their Rose Festival Court sisters.
