Invest in What Works!

Our Compassion in Action luncheon celebrates resilience, hope, and the life-changing impact we create together. This year, our goal is to raise $500,000 to support CCC’s lifesaving health care, housing, and employment programs.

Together, we can end homelessness.

Keynote Speaker: Mayor Wilson

Elected as Portland’s Mayor in 2024, Keith Wilson was born in 1963 and raised in North Portland, one of five children. He went to school at Portsmouth/Cesar Chavez, Roosevelt High School, Portland Community College and Oregon State University before earning a Master of Business Administration from the University of Portland.

Wilson began his career in television before returning to Portland to take the helm of TITAN Freight Systems in 2004. Reimagining the company as a green transportation innovator and artificial intelligence incubator,  he pioneered heavy-duty electric vehicles and successfully eliminated all fossil fuels in TITAN’s Portland facility.

As a civic leader, Wilson mentors future leaders as vice chair for Word is Bond and serves as an executive committee member of the U.S. High-Speed Rail Coalition. In 2023, Wilson founded Shelter Portland, a nonprofit designed to end unsheltered homelessness in Portland based on successful efforts in other cities.

Wilson enjoys the great outdoors with his wife Katherine and children, Lilianna and Noah.
