With our suc­cess­ful inau­gural Film Fes­ti­val a “Box Office Hit” we are very excited to announce our 2012 event. This fes­ti­val is our largest event of the year, being held at our new venue, the beau­ti­ful and his­toric Scot­tish Rite Cen­ter in down­town Port­land. Not only is it an oppor­tu­nity to cel­e­brate base­ball in film, it is also an evening ded­i­cated to rais­ing funds for the youth base­ball and soft­ball com­mu­nity through our auc­tion and recep­tion. This evening will pro­vide the seed monies to insure that our kids are able to not only play but do so through safe and sus­tain­able programs.

Bill Lee, leg­endary pitcher for the Boston Red Sox will head­line this year’s Fes­ti­val.  Bill “Space­man” Lee was fea­tured in a doc­u­men­tary that high­lighted his truly leg­endary and slightly unortho­dox Major League career.  Bill will be attend­ing our recep­tion to meet with all of you and to dis­cuss both the mak­ing of this film and his sto­ried career.

We will be serv­ing heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer along with great friends, con­ver­sa­tions about Bill’s career and youth base­ball and soft­ball in Oregon.

Stay tuned for announce­ments on our pre­mier auc­tion items!
