our mission

Our mission is to unite the artistic glass and cannabis community through charitable events that showcase the talent of nationally recognized artists and the cannabis culture of the Pacific Northwest. A collective effort to raise money and give back to those in need within our local community.

Through events and fundraisers sponsored by Evergreen State Project and our amazing community of artists, cannabis enthusiasts, individuals, and organizations we raise funds and increase the public awareness of our cause. Helping those who need it the most.

history

The BoroDerby is an event dreamed up by Spokane glass artist Brandon Welk in 2010.

The concept is awesome and simple: build cars out of glass and race them down a Boy Scouts of America Pinewood Derby track. In 2012 this event became a reality.

The first BoroDerby was hosted in Spokane WA, and it proved to be a creative way for the newly established non-profit organization, the Evergreen State Project, to raise money for local charities. It was both fun and successful. Our first BoroDerby provided $6,000 to charity and by our third year we were able to donate $10,000.

They provide a 24-hour childcare, parent education and counseling, as well as referrals to community agencies.

The Agape Home Women’s & Children’s Shelter provides a stable, nurturing environment for women and children. They offer services that include a safe shelter, life skill classes, a support system and access to community resources. The 4th annual BoroDerby will be held at Domer’s Studio located in Spokane, WA, on September 30th - October 2nd. Eight teams of two will compete for 10 hours (12PM-10PM) on day one and two (four teams each day) to create a derby car that is also a functional piece. The completed derby cars will be raced on an official Boy Scouts of America Pinewood Derby track during day three. Artists who place 1st, 2nd and 3rd and “Best in Show” will receive a prize pack provided by our generous sponsors. Attendees of the event will vote for a car to be placed as “Best in Show.” After the races are complete, ESP will auction the derby cars and 100% of the proceeds will go to ESP’s beneficiaries. All competing artists will receive VIP access for the entire event. VIP includes admission for the three-day event with access to complimentary food and drinks, VIP lounge, event t-shirt, swag bag and five raffle tickets (VIP 21+ only). We want to start by thanking all of the competitors, without you this event would not be possible!
