2026 Celebrate the Blues @Echolands Winery

Blue Mountain Land Trust is grateful to everyone who made Celebrate the Blues an unforgettable evening! Together, we raised funds to support our work at this sold-out event with over 130 attendees. These funds will directly support our work to protect the lands and waters of the Blue Mountain region for people, wildlife, and agriculture.

Thank you so much for joining us for the 2026 Celebrate the Blues event. Your presence and enthusiasm made it a truly unforgettable evening.

Because of your incredible generosity, we achieved something amazing together:

Over $61,000 raised: Thanks to you, we secured vital funding to support the Blue Mountain Land Trust's core mission.
Lasting local impact: Every dollar raised goes directly toward protecting the lands and waters of our Blue Mountain region.

An event of this scale takes a village, and we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped bring it to life. A special thank you goes out to:

Our incredible sponsors: Alaska Airlines, Columbia REA, Banner Bank, Edward Jones, inter-fluve, and Petersen Hastings for their generous financial support.
Silent auction donors: The local businesses and private supporters who donated items to make the auction a resounding success.
Our dedicated partners: Echolands Winery for hosting us at their beautiful venue, TMACs for catering the amazing food, Emily Asmus from Welcome Table Farm for sharing her experience conserving her land, and Gary and Erika Ingersoll-Winston for their wonderful music.

Congratulations to the Alaska Airlines & Hawaiian Airlines round-trip ticket winner, Linda Herbert!

While the event has wrapped up, the vital work of conservation continues every single day. You can help us keep this incredible momentum going by becoming a sustaining supporter.

We are looking forward to seeing you again next year!
