HOME IMPROVEMENT NEWS & TRENDS

This season, Oregon Ducks Baseball gave fans plenty to cheer about on and off the field. Every Ducks home run at PK Park this season helped support local children through a partnership between Rick's Custom Fencing & Decking, Oregon Baseball, and CASA of Lane County. In June, representatives from Rick's, Oregon Baseball, and CASA gathered in Eugene to celebrate the campaign's success and present a check for $4,700 to CASA of Lane County.

Giving back has always been important to the team at Rick’s, which is why we’re proud to support Make-A-Wish Oregon’s Million Miles Match Campaign alongside KGW and Alaska Airlines.

The event brought together local businesses, educators, volunteers, and community members for an evening of connection, friendly competition, and support for students and teachers.
