Campaign for Dougy Center West
Grief can be lonely, but you don't have to be alone.
Childhood bereavement is a critical public health issue and an increasingly important national priority. The death of a parent, sibling, or other important person in a child’s life is one of the most frequently reported disruptive childhood experiences and without support, can lead to adverse health and welfare outcomes.
Why here? Why now?
The need for Dougy Center's services is on the rise, with more families on our waiting list than ever before. And for many families who are hurting, the distance to Dougy Center's eastside location is daunting. Our goal is to double our in-person impact with a true Dougy Center home in Beaverton.
Our Vision for Dougy Center West
- New permanent home on the Westside with same welcoming environment as Dougy Center East
- 14,000 square-foot building in Beaverton

- Space for Dougy Center's renowned rooms for music, art, hospital play, big energy, and more
