The Oregon Historical Society's annual Oregon History Makers Awards & Dinner recognizes contemporary individuals and organizations that are positively shaping the history, culture, and landscape of Oregon. This year, we are pleased to honor:
Mike and Sure Hollern, Central Oregon Community Builders
Tony Hopson, Sr., Trailblazer for Youth and Family Services
Patricia Reser, Champion for the Performing Arts and Philanthropy
Jordan D. Schnitzer, Art Advocate and Civic Leader
Please join us in honoring our 2025 History Makers on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 5pm in the Mark Building of the Portland Art Museum.
Funds raised through tickets, sponsorships, and donations at the event provide vital support for the Oregon Historical Society's mission. Last year, over 1.1 million people turned to OHS for perspective and a deeper understanding of the people, places, and events that have shaped Oregon. Thank you for your support!
For information on higher-level sponsorships please see the sponsorship packet or contact Ally Huffman at ally.huffman@ohs.org or 503.306.5226.
