About Sexy Tuesdays:
Throughout the year, PPCW hosts multiple Sexy Tuesdays events, ranging from social gatherings at a neighborhood bar to larger fundraising events such as an art auction, movie night or concert. Our goal is to build a new generation of supporters and advocates for PPCW, and raise awareness of and financial support for the agency and the services it provides to the community. Together, we will guide the future of Planned Parenthood as donors, board members and volunteers.
To accomplish this mission, we:
- Educate Sexy Tuesdays participants about PPCW's services and political activities in the local community.
- Provide opportunities to get involved in volunteer programs and/or fundraising activities
- Engage supporters politically by informing them of Action Alerts on local and national sexual and reproductive health issues.
- Enable participants to share their knowledge and support of PPCW with others through the activities, events, and programs that we sponsor and support.
- Host events to raise funds for PPCW's health center services and education and programs.

"The event was wonderful for us. The guests were energetic, well-behaved and lots of fun. We have had many repeat clients as a result of the event...Having 100 new people walk through means we had no doubt a thousand folks hear our name following the event. Huge! I've made it abundantly clear that Sexy Tuesdays is welcome back to Vixens any time!"

"Birth control became legal in Oregon in 1968; Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. I have never lived a day in which access to reproductive health care was illegal. And I don't want to. I hope Sexy Tuesdays will energize my peers so that we understand the future is in our hands. We need to secure those rights, and not take them for granted. Sexy Tuesdays will be a great way to meet like-minded men and women, and will enable people to get involved with Planned Parenthood and its mission to provide, promote and protect access to reproductive health care."
