It’s summer concert season again! The Les Schwab Tires Concert Series at Hayden Homes Amphitheater will be one of the biggest and best ever, with incredible artists and your chance to win prizes while helping local nonprofits make a difference. We’re proud to be part of it.

Les Schwab has always been about serving and doing what we can to help others throughout the communities we serve. This year, we’re partnering with 16 service-focused organizations to bring even more fun to every concert.

Here’s how you can do your part: Get to your show a little early. Then stop by the Les Schwab booth where you’ll get to know that evening’s nonprofit. You’ll also have a chance to spin the prize wheel for concert cash and Les Schwab goodies, strike a pose in the digital photo booth, or purchase raffle tickets for some big prizes.

We’ll see you there!

We are the largest social services organization helping youth in Central Oregon, operating J Bar J Boys Ranch & J5, Cascade Youth & Family Center, Grandma’s House, Kindred Connections, at: project, The Academy at Sisters, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon, and The Learning Center and Vocational School at J Bar J.

Make A Wish Foundation @ Goo Goo Dolls

About Make A Wish Foundation: A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.

This is our mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
