Our Story

On December 12, 2008, our community experienced a horrible tragedy. Since then, we have expressed our strength and our values in ways that make us “Woodburn Proud.” We formed “Woodburn Proud, Inc.” in an effort to create a permanent vehicle to express our strengths and values as we strive to make Woodburn an even better place to be.
