SUPPORTING OREGON’S
COASTAL NONPROFITS
To celebrate what would be Marie Lamfrom’s 128th birthday, we went where Marie herself loved to go: the Oregon coast. In partnership with Explore Lincoln City’s Finders Keepers program, we proudly donated $128,000 between more than fifty remarkable nonprofits.
— Thank You —
to all who visited Lincoln City and our surrounding coastal communities! We are especially grateful to our participating organizations, our friends at Explore Lincoln City, and the amazing Float Ferries that made this effort possible.

MEET OUR 2024
RECIPIENTS
To participate in our 2024 program, organizations were required to work in or prioritize communities along the Oregon Coast. With our partnership with Explore Lincoln City, each participating organization was assigned a glass float, hidden along the beach near Lincoln City via the Finders Keepers program.
The sooner an organization’s float was discovered and reported, the greater their award.
