Climate Trust Policy Associate Shanna Brownstein networking at the event hosted by KEEN.
The Council for Responsible Sport (“ReSport”) hosted the organization’s first Green Tie Event “Sustainable Inspiration” at KEEN in August. KEEN and Barran Liebman were the primary sponsors of the evening gala, both embodying the values of community, civic engagement, and environmental stewardship.
The Event raised over $5,000 dollars, an amount which will be instrumental in furthering the mission of ReSport to establish a new standard of environmental and social responsibility for sport.
The night was filled with announcements of new partnerships to the ReSport community including Bonneville Environmental Foundation (b-e-f.org) and Search for the Ultimate Athlete (searchfortheultimateathlete.com) as well as dynamic conversations amongst guests, including former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, KPOJ morninghost Christine Alexander, and many of Portland’s top business and sustainability leaders.
The evening presented attendees with the opportunity to bid on a myriad auction items as well as enjoy a keynote presentation by Darcy Winslow, Founder of DWS Collective LLC, Designs for a Sustainable World. Darcy spoke about her recent voyage to Antarctica and reiterated the opening remarks from ReSport’s Executive Director, Marisa McGilliard, on the personal responsibility we all have in bringing about change. Both women emphasized that promulgating fundamental shifts in society towards a more sustainable future is about inspired innovation and unprecedented collaboration.
