About Us

Welcome and thank you for visiting Oswego Friends of Doernbecher!

Oswego Friends of Doernbecher was formed in September of 1991 to honor a Lake Oswego child who was at the old hospital receiving treatment for leukemia. The chapter held fundraising events to raise funds for Doernbecher Children's Hospital which was opened in 1998. In the past we've raised funds for the Medical Care Endowment, research grants, and the Resource Library.

Friends of Doernbecher is a "friend raising" and fundraising group whose goal is to educate and fundraise for Doernbecher Children's Hospital. There are 9 active Friends of Doernbecher chapters chartered throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.

The major fundraising events for Oswego Friends of Doernbecher are our annual Movie Night / Silent auction held at the Lake Twin Cinema on March 18th and our Shopping Extravanganza held in November.

Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation has many different programs where committed volunteers and donors from our community and beyond, come together to raise public awareness for the hospital and generate financial resources. Friends of Doernbecher is one of those programs that consist of Chapters from across Oregon and Southwest Washington that are dedicated to the long-term support of Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
