PORTLAND, OR – PDX Pop Now! has launched its Fundraiser Drive in order to support the 16th annual music festival this July.

The Fundraiser Drive is running now through March 15, before leading up to the Compilation Release Party on March 31. All funds donated will be put toward the 2019 music festival, paying for stages, lighting, cables, permits, coverings, security and sound.

PDX Pop Now! has placed a goal of $6,000. In 2018, over 5,500 guests attended PDX Pop Now! at AudioCinema, meaning that if each guest were to donate $6 this year, the entire festival would be funded.

PDX Pop Now! is offering special rewards to donors that give large contributions. Donors that give $16 or more will receive a sticker; donors that give $30 or more will receive a T-shirt or tote; donors that give $50 or more will receive a T-shirt or tote, admission to the Compilation Release Party and a 2019 Compilation CD; and donors that give $100 or more will receive a sticker, pin, T-shirt, tote, two admissions to the Compilation Release Party and a 2019 Compilation CD.
