Nearly three decades ago, the Ellis Family started something extraordinary for thousands of children across the country with the power of music. Today, we celebrate the heart of our organization — getting back to our roots and gathering our joy to build community and connection.
This year, let’s get back to the heart of it all: joy, music, and our mission in the community.
Wonderball is JoyRx’s premier fundraising event of the year and an opportunity to celebrate together. This year, we’re thrilled to transform this iconic event with our Live From the Heart benefit series at the Portland Art Museum.
Enjoy cocktails during a happy hour, a silent and live auction, dinner, and an inspiring JoyRx program that highlights our mission and impact. Then, we’ll conclude the night with an exclusive performance from a special guest artist. Check back soon for news and updates!
This year, we are going back to our roots. We would love to see our guests wearing any and all things JoyRx purple to celebrate our history of helping kids here in Oregon and across the nation. Let’s wear our joy and let purple inspire the night.
Whether it is purple details and accessories or a head-to-toe purple ensemble — all shades, vibes, and types of purple inspiration are welcome!
