Meet our Honoree!

This year, our Light the Way Gala honors Tracy Curtis. Recently retired after decades as the Region Executive for Wells Fargo in the Pacific Northwest, Tracy has spent her career helping to guide corporate dollars towards the enrichment of our community. She has been a champion of the LGBTQIA+ community, serving on the board of the Cascade AIDS Project and chairing their famous Art Auction.

A lifelong lover and supporter of the arts, Tracy has championed Profile Theatre, the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus, and many arts organizations in our region. She is also a die-hard Liverpool FC (soccer) fan, fashion enthusiast, and wine lover. Join us in honoring her at Light the Way 2026!
