We Three Hosts “Home for the Holidays” Concert at Linfield University to Support Juliette’s House
On December 13th, McMinnville’s beloved musical trio, We Three, delivered an unforgettable evening with their first-ever “We Three Home for the Holidays” concert. The event, held at Linfield University’s Lucille Ice Auditorium, was filled with music, generosity, and community spirit, drawing a full crowd eager to celebrate the season and support a vital cause.
We Three, known for their alt-pop sound and deeply personal lyrics, has always been dedicated to using their platform for good. This concert marked a special partnership with Juliette’s House, a local Children’s Advocacy Center that has been serving children and families affected by abuse since 1997. A portion of the concert’s proceeds was donated directly to us, helping to sustain life-changing services, programs, and care during the season of giving!
A Stage Filled with Love and Stuffed Animals
In a heartwarming display of community support, concertgoers were invited to bring new stuffed animals to donate to children in need. Before the performance, our CEO, Russell Mark, and Director of Philanthropic Impact, Elizabeth Schrader, inspired the audience to rally behind our mission of supporting children.
As the concert began, attendees tossed their donations onto the stage, creating a truly magical moment—filling the auditorium with joy and the stage with over 400 plush toys destined to bring comfort to the children served by Juliette’s House.
“We’re excited to support the incredible work being done by Juliette’s House. This community has given us so much over the years,” said We Three ahead of the event. Before playing their first song, the band opened with:
“Let’s give a huge round of applause to Juliette’s House! We are absolutely honored to be a part of this!”

The evening underscored the trio’s deep connection to their hometown and their commitment to giving back.
Beyond the success of the event itself, the impact of this partnership continues to grow.
