Driven - Women Who Take The Wheel — Benefiting OHSU Center for Women's Health
Proudly benefiting the OHSU Center for Women’s Health Circle of Giving Research Grant Award Program. A percentage of event proceeds will directly support groundbreaking research and women's health initiatives in Oregon.
Harvest is the setting. DRIVEN is the story: automobiles, art, Oregon wine, culinary craft, and hospitality, brought together for an evening honoring women who choose direction, take the wheel, and change what comes next.
Welcome to DRIVEN: Women Who Take The Wheel—an intimate, curated gathering blending exceptional automotive design and heritage, art, live music, Oregon wine, and the November harvest. Rather than a conventional gala or panel discussion, DRIVEN is designed as an immersive evening where remarkable women, their stories, and their accomplishments become part of the experience.
At the heart of the evening is “Por-She,” Dr. Phyllis Yes’s iconic lace-clad 1967 Porsche 911S, presented as both automobile and work of art. Phyllis will share the remarkable story of the car and its journey before Por-She moves into its next museum chapter.
Throughout the evening, guests will meet and hear from an extraordinary group of women who have taken the wheel in art, business, motorsports, wine, food, and community leadership—including acclaimed farmer, chef, and founder Stacey Givens of Side Yard Farm & Kitchen, who is crafting the evening's exceptional culinary experience. DRIVEN will also recognize women whose leadership embodies the spirit of taking the wheel—from the owners of Porsche Beaverton and Porsche Studio Portland, who generously provide our venue, to our partners at the Willamette Valley Wineries Association, whose featured pours highlight the celebrated female trailblazers of Oregon winemaking.
From a champagne welcome and the presentation of Por-She to live music, a November harvest dinner, premier Oregon wines, and personal stories shared throughout the night, DRIVEN is designed to feel less like a formal program and more like a beautifully composed experience.
