Carpe Mundi is back for its 14th Annual Fundraiser Dinner and invites you to join us for One Wild Journey

 

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

To your right, you can register to join us for our in-person Un-Gala & Auction and gain access to our virtual silent auction. Individual tickets are available, along with table tickets. Consider purchasing a table—your table will be your team for the interactive portion of the event!

IN-PERSON UN-GALA

The journeys our students embark on—both locally and abroad—are at the heart of our program and highlight the importance of mentorship, scholarship, and cultural exchange. At this year’s event, you’ll experience interactive stations that bring these journeys to life, along with Carpe Mundi classics like meeting our students, hearing from alumni, and participating in our silent auction.

This year’s theme, One Wild Journey, celebrates the firsts—the adventures, experiences, and defining moments that shape our students’ lives and futures. 

We look forward to sharing more with you about this important work as we enjoy delicious food and beverage, and build community together!

DRESS CODE:

This year, we invite you to go on One Wild Journey with us. This year’s theme celebrates the firsts—the adventures, experiences, and defining moments that shape our students’ lives and futures. With that in mind, we encourage you to dress as though you are going on an exciting journey of your own.  If you don't want to come dressed in a themed costume, business casual attire will be perfectly acceptable. However you feel moved, we are excited to see you tonight!

VIRTUAL AUCTION: OCT 19–24

Can’t join us in Portland? You can still be part of the excitement by purchasing an Auction-Only ticket. This gives you access to our virtual silent auction featuring both international treasures collected by students during their time abroad and unique domestic offerings. Online bidding opens October 19th and concludes October 24th, during the live event at the World Forestry Center.

WHY IT MATTERS

Year after year, Carpe Mundi students share powerful stories of transformation—how new experiences opened their eyes, reshaped their futures, and taught them the value of connection across cultures. These journeys aren’t just personal milestones; they create ripple effects of unity, empathy, and inclusivity in our communities.

 

 

Over the past fourteen years, Carpe Mundi has worked with 165 low-income, majority first-generation and BIPOC, students to increase access to high-impact opportunities.

 

This year, it feels particularly important to focus on this valuable force for good by highlighting it on October 24th at our Un-gala & Auction.
