Staff Spotlight! 🔦 As of yesterday, Keith Knowles, husband of Kim Knowles, AFO’s Associate Director of Architects in Schools, embarked on a 3,500+ km challenge along the 2024 Tour de France route in an effort to raise £1,000,000 for Cure Leukaemia, the official charity partner of the Tour de France. Today, Sunday, June 23, Keith is riding nearly 124 miles wearing a bib (as seen in the image) in honor of Susan Myers, AFO’s Associate Director. Join us in celebrating Susan‘s decades in remission by helping Keith meet his $50,000 fundraising goal for Cure Leukaemia! Sending strength and perseverance to Keith on this amazing journey, and to Susan and all those impacted by blood cancer. AFO would not be what it is without Susan and we are so happy to have her with us today! Donate: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/keith-knowles Follow Keith's journey @keithkannoli … @thetour21 sees a team of 25 amateur cyclists, take on the world’s most grueling cycling challenge by riding the full Tour de France route, one week ahead of the professionals.

Help us make our pilot year a success! In partnership with @diversityindesign, @comma.psugd, and AFO, Formation is a paid mentorship program for college level Black, Indigenous, and students of color studying design degrees in Portland. The program will match up local college juniors and seniors of color with established design professionals of color and give all participants a stipend for their time. Our goal is to help college students build relationships and their professional network so they can thrive in the design industry once they’ve graduated. Your firm sponsorship or personal donation is an investment in Portland's design community, and a push for a more diverse future workforce. We welcome you to join our efforts and help us raise $20K for the 2024-25 school year program! Link in bio. #formation #mentorship #bipocmentorship #futuredesigners
