🏞️ In a small town at the edge of Oregon, something big is happening. Lakeview — population 2,400 — just broke ground on a world-class skatepark so every kid has a place to play, belong and be seen. 🎥 Watch Oregon Community Foundation President & CEO Lisa Mensah share this powerful story from our Annual Meeting. It’s about belief, backbone and what happens when a community dares to ask “What if?” 💬 “What if we all believed in our kids like Lakeview believes in theirs?” #LakeviewSkatepark #WhatIfOregon #OCFGrants #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityPower #Skateboarding #SmallTownsBigDreams (fb)

🌟 “You might say it takes a lot of nerve to ask What If. But what it really takes is a backbone of steel.” —Lisa Mensah, OCF President and CEO Oregon Community Foundation gathered partners, leaders and friends from across the state at our Annual Meeting and called on them to drive change by asking “What if?” We heard meaningful stories and bold visions for Oregon’s future—from the Lakeview skatepark to new solutions for housing, education and economic development. 🌟 “From the original Indigenous people to our newest immigrants, we find our light when we live out our deep belief that everyone belongs in Oregon, and in Oregon, everyone can shine.” —Lisa Mensah Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Oregon’s changemakers. 💬 Now it’s your turn!
