Bites For Rights

Join us for our most delicious fundraiser of the year! 2013 marks the 14th annual Bites for Rights Event. On June 20th, 2013, restaurants, coffee shops, bars and bakeries around the state will donate a generous percentage of their day’s proceeds to Basic Rights Oregon. On this one day, you can feast to promote fairness for all LGBT Oregonians.

Along with Byways Café, Cupcake Jones, The Gilt Club, Genoa Restaurant, Big Ass Sandwiches and Mother’s Bistro & Bar to name a few from Portland. We also have the biggest amount of buzz with our community via social media posts and photos and the most media coverage for Bites for Rights including print ads in PQ Monthly, Willamette Week and a 30 second television commercial on Comcast! Take a stand for equality by going out for coffee, brunch, drinks, dinner and dessert. With your help, we can send a powerful message to business owners that supporting LGBT equality is not only the right thing to do, but it’s good business too! By dining out all day long, YOU can help sustain Basic Rights Oregon’s efforts in transgender justice, racial justice and marriage equality.
