OEMBA Holiday Social

The Oregon Executive MBA Alumni Network’s Season of Giving Holiday Social is back! Secure your spot for this special evening dedicated to connection, celebration, and charitable impact.  

Each year, our OEMBA alumni come together to support our local community, and our 2025 holiday social is no exception. We encourage attendees to bring donations to the PDX Diaper Bank to directly support families in need across the Portland region.  

The evening will feature Hawaiian-inspired cuisine, plus an extra opportunity to give back. Our venue, OEMBA alumni-owned Hoplandia Taphouse will donate $1 for every additional drink purchased beyond the two included with admission.

About the PDX Diaper Bank

The PDX Diaper Bank provides diapers and diapering supplies to low-income families with young children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities living in Portland and the surrounding areas.  

The average cost to diaper a child is $1,200 annually, which is a financial hardship for  one in two American families, according to the National Diaper Bank Network. Since diapers and wipes are not covered by programs like WIC and SNAP, families are often faced with impossible decisions, like whether to purchase food or diapers. PDX Diaper Bank distributes cloth and disposable diapers, along with wipes and other supplies, to the community to bridge this service gap.  

Most Wanted Items

• Size 4-6 diapers
• Wipes

Also needed:

• Disposable diapers (all sizes). Partial packages okay, please re-seal and label with size and quantity.
• Cloth diapers and covers (new and gently used/pre-owned)
• Adult incontinence supplies (briefs, pads, bed pads, etc.)
• Rash cream and powder (new/unopened)

Visit the PDX Diaper Bank’s website to learn more about the specific items they accept. 

Aren't able to join the event, but want to support, or prefer to make a monetary donation? You can make a donation directly to PDX Diaper Bank. Donations made through this link will attributed to the Season of Giving Holiday Social.
