INTRODUCTION

Preston’s Community Outreach Group, Inc. (Preston’s CORG, Inc.) is an Oregon State community

based organization and non-profit with 501 (c)3 accountability. Our mission is to help underserved

Portland residents achieve the American dream of homeownership while assisting those in greatest need

specifically North and Northeast Portland, is in need of consistent information on complete

homeownership, as well as continued education on such topics as the Community Reinvestment Act,

sustainability, and home-based energy efficiencies.

Preston’s CORG, Inc. works in collaboration with business and community partners in delivering of

viable housing assistance programs (see list on following page). As well as working with “At Risk

to approximately 4,500 people, and in 2010, Preston’s CORG provided educational outreach to

Preston’s CORG, Inc. has launched a campaign to raise funds to produce the NW Soul II Soul Music

Festival to bring together the broad community and its employed resources. This is three day family

friendly music festival to be held in August, 2011 at Blue Lake State Park, located just East of Portland,

Oregon. The location has been secured along with artists’ contracts held today in the negotiation and

finalization phase. (See section on projected festival participants).

Preston’s CORG, Inc. is committed to donating fifty-five percent (55%) of the festival proceeds to non-

profit community organizations that assist those homeowners at risk of losing their homes due to

foreclosure (see complete list of potential funding recipients) and fifteen percent (15%) to programs that

provide life skill opportunities for at risk youth throughout the Northwest region. The remaining thirty

percent (30%) of the proceeds will be used by Preston’s CORG, Inc. to develop and implement more

educational programs for first time homeowners, building a broader “At Risk Youth” base, and

administrative costs.

Our Team

One of Preston’s CORG, Inc. greatest assets is unquestionably our team members. Preston’s CORG is

comprised of professionals with many years of experience negotiating, producing, and delivering

community sustainability events.

Calvin C. Kyles, Sr. Executive Director and Founder

After several years as an auto Sales Manager, Mr. Kyles brought his experience building client and

community relationships to the mortgage and real estate industries. His emphasis is in educating and

assisting people to maintain homeownership, particularly during the housing market crisis, where many

well intentioned homeowners have suffered through foreclosure.

It was through his first-hand experience with homeowners who were most impacted by the housing crisis

that he founded Preston’s Community Outreach Group, Inc. Preston’s (named after his son) concentrates

on providing housing and financial education. Mr. Kyles has been a guest speaker for several housing

assistance events. He has also served in an advisory capacity for public and private housing

organizations.

Today Mr. Kyles’ experience building successful community relationships has resulted in the

development of event production and ventures as the primary Entertainment Producer for one of

Portland’s premiere community festivals, the three-day Good in the Neighborhood ‘Multicultural’

Festival. This community festival mentioned is the primary event that Preston’s CORG, Inc. oversees

during the year. Mr. Kyles is the Contract Administer, discipline in the rituals of event planning, and

entertainment contracting.

Proceeds from events independently supported by Preston’s CORG, Inc. help fund community

enrichment and housing education, as well as participating in deliverables to educational granting to

underprivileged college worthy students with focus in community development and diversity.

Darrin Willingham, Sr. President

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon Mr. Willingham successfully developed and produced the Peer

Pressure Super Show (custom auto show) until 1997, when he created his own event production

company, Peer Pressure Productions.

Mr. Willingham is strongly committed to sustaining the quality of life for which Portland is known. He is

an active volunteer for several community enrichment events, including: Inner City Steppers, Juneteenth

Day Celebration and Oya No Kai. In supporting the Japanese Immersion Program through Oya No Kai

and the Portland Public Schools K-12, he has been chosen to represent the program by participating in

several trips to Japan. Mr. Willingham is clearly and advocate for diversity.

Anthony Lincoln Principle Fundraiser

Mr. Lincoln was the senior policy Development Manager for Portland Mayor Vera Katz, specializing in

economic development. He served as lead staff on bringing Major League Baseball (MLB) to Portland,

Oregon. In this capacity, Mr. Lincoln worked on year-long negotiations for a publicly financed MLB

caliber stadium. He worked extensively with MLB, the City of Portland, the Oregon State Legislature,

and various stakeholder groups in and around the Portland Metro area. Although these efforts did not

result in Portland landing an MLB team Mr. Lincoln made a positive impact and key contacts were

established and sustained.

Mr. Lincoln worked to bring union and open shop labor organizations together as he developed and

implemented the South Waterfront Diversity Workforce Strategy, a pilot program designed to create

enhanced opportunities for racial/ethnic minorities and women in the construction trades. Mr. Lincoln

was awarded the Congressman of the Year Award from the Oregon Building Congress in 2001.

North East Coalition of Neighborhood (NECN) Fiscal Agent / Accountability Manager

NE Coalition of Neighborhoods is one of seven independently contracted neighborhood coalitions in

Portland.

Through Portland's Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI), the 7 District Coalitions, 95

Neighborhood Associations, and 40 Business Associations interact and collaborate with numerous

community groups and residents to focus on various livability issues, land use and transportation issues,

crime prevention, and technical support to organize neighborhood clean-ups and community gatherings.

As a core part of the Portland Community Engagement System, NECN serves as one of seven district

coalitions advancing neighborhood livability through highly inclusive civic engagement. Our organization

is set up as an independent 501(c) 3 nonprofit for more opportunities to respond to community needs. We

believe in creating healthy communities by engaging citizens to become directly involved in determining

how their neighborhood evolves. Please review our attached ‘Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement’ in

EVENT PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE

Preston’s CORG, Inc. has successfully partnered with a variety of civic organizations and neighborhood

associations to produce outstanding community events. Below are two examples of widely recognized

events in which Preston’s CORG has been actively involved:

I. Good in the Neighborhood ‘Multicultural’ Music and Food Festival

For the past nineteen years Good in the Neighborhood has been one of the most well-known music

festivals in Portland, Oregon. This event is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, quality music

options, and prime showcase for local vendors. It was initially designed to help stimulate equity for

African Americans living in North and Northeast Portland.

• The festival created a platform for city and county officials to reach out directly to communities

of color.

• It provided opportunities for twenty (20) neighborhood vendors to promote their businesses and

expand their clientele.

• The festival has grown from 500 – 600 people a day in earlier years to approximately 5,000 daily

attendees today.

• Bellow are the current demographics by age and ethnicity for this event:

Ages 1 – 7 yrs = 4%

Ages 8 – 15 yrs = 18%

Ages 16 – 20 yrs = 12%

Ages 21 – 24 yrs = 29%

Ages 25 – 65 yrs = 27%

II. Mississippi Street Fair

This annual community street festival is widely-known as the Boise Neighborhood’s annual party. The

one day event features three stages with 18 musical acts and 45 neighborhood restaurant vendors. The

Mississippi Street Fair runs along five continuous blocks of trendy North Mississippi Avenue in Portland

and the blocks are closed to auto traffic during the event. The many restaurants and storefronts along the

festival route (and just outside its boundary) benefit greatly from this event. Proceeds are donated to a

local public elementary school, Boise Eliot Elementary School, to support the continuation of its

Multicultural programming.

The Mississippi Street Fair is made possible through the collaborative efforts of Preston’s CORG, Inc.,

Boise Eliot Elementary School, Mississippi Avenue Business Association, Tri-Met, City of Portland,

• Festival attendance grew from an approximate attendance of 6,300 in 2006, to 12,000 in 2007,

and 26,000 in 2009 and 2010.

• The event provided opportunities for twenty (20) small retail vendors to expand their clientele.

• Below are the estimated demographics by age and ethnicity:

Ages 1 – 7 = 6%

Ages 8 – 15 = 16%

Ages 16 – 20 = 36%

Ages 21 – 65 = 41%

Oregon and Southwest Washington host more than 180 community/street festivals, fairs, concerts, and

other outdoor events every year. This region is nationally known for the quality of jazz, blues, folk, and

Indie Rock festivals that take place in a vast array of public spaces between the inner city streets to the

banks of the beautiful Willamette River and beyond. Now Preston’s CORG, Inc. invites you to join in the

effort to bring Portland “center stage” for the first Soul Music Festival in the Pacific Northwest.
