Every year, hundreds of regional Business, Union, and Labor Leaders come together to sponsor one of the Northwest’s premier charity events, the B.U.L.L. Session. This two-day fundraiser starts on Monday, September 11, 2017 with a dinner and auction gala at the Oregon Convention Center and ends with a golf tournament on Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club. Thai Bloom proudly joins this effort by making a donation at the behest of the Shriners Hospital for Children Portland.

It focuses on a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, from fractures to rare diseases and syndromes. It also provides expert cleft lip and palate care. All services are provided in a family-centered environment, regardless of the families’ ability to pay.

Located on the campus of Oregon Health Sciences University, Shriners Portland has close affiliations with world-class doctors and researchers who are committed to advancing orthopedic treatment and cleft lip and palate care for children from all over the world.
