Forever Young continually involves itself in community activities within the Portland Metro region. The company has a distinct philanthropic motivation that underlies daily operations. Specifically, Forever Young has worked closely with various Autism foundations throughout the area, including A Hope for Autism,Autism Resources of Beaverton, and Northwest Autism Foundation.
Ron, the owner of Forever Young, and his wife Jennifer have firsthand knowledge of Autism and its effects. Their son, Casey, was diagnosed with ASD at age 3. Since that time, their goal has always been to strive to do whatever it takes to help their boy succeed. There have had many struggles along the way; they were told Casey might not ever talk and that he would probably not want to be around people, preferring instead to “live in his own world.”
Notwithstanding this, Casey is living proof that if ASD children get the proper guidance, education and encouragement, they can overcome many obstacles. Despite his difficulties, Casey is in taekwondo and piano classes, he has a huge vocabulary, loves to be around people, and has a huge heart.
Forever Young regularly holds “Red Carpet Events” where all proceeds of the tickets purchased for those events are donated to a local charity. At these events, individuals can enjoy the majority of Forever Young’s services for a day with a $99 ticket—all of which is then given to a specific charity. In past events, Forever Young has raised over $5,000 in funds for local organizations. When a “Red Carpet Event” is announced, please consider partaking in the day’s activities with the hope of contributing to a well-deserving cause.
