Flight for Freedom

September 8 or 9 – 12, 2011

The City of New York is busy preparing for a remembrance of those lost with numerous services and events planned over the course of the weekend including the dedication of the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site. Join Portland’s Flight For Freedom in New York September 8 or 9 - 12, 2011 to remember those who have fallen and celebrate the human condition as we join together in observance of the dedication of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Comprised of 1,000 people from Oregon and Southwest Washington, participants descended on New York City three weeks after the attacks. From the depths of despair, individuals rallied in spirit and action, coming together to support the victim's families, their co-workers and communities. This was the first group to travel to New York, lending both moral and economic support to a community in need.

In the spirit of peace and unity shared by so many in the days after the attack we are delighted that the Portland Gay Men's Chorus will perform BraveSouls and Dreamers, a dramatic cantata that reflects upon the human and spiritual consequences of war and the universal desire of peace at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Sunday, September 11, 2011. This performance by PGMC and other artists will be the culminating event marking this momentous occasion for the Oregon Freedom Flyers.

Don't miss your chance to travel to one of the greatest cities in the world and join in what is sure to be a once in a lifetime milestone occasion.

Registration Deadline: August 01, 2011
