MEMBERSHIP
The Portland Skyliners Tall Club was founded in September 1955 and
incorporated in 1957 for the purpose of promoting friendship and good
fellowship among tall people and to sponsor activities of interest to
all.
You're probably wondering how tall is tall enough? Well, in this
club our "shortest" members must measure at least 5'10" (women) and
6'2" (men).
If you think you "measure up," are at least 21 years of age, would like
to obtain information about our activities, and want to
learn more about becoming a member, please
contact us. In your message, please include your name, address,
phone number, and email address.
TALL CLUBS
INTERNATIONAL
We are a member club of

across the country.
SCHOLARSHIP
Each year the Portland Skyliners Tall Club selects a high school senior
or graduate to be the recipient of a scholarship to be used for
educational purposes. The winner of the Skyliners scholarship is then
entered to compete for scholarships awarded by Tall Clubs
International. Click here to view requirements and download

NATIONAL
MARFAN FOUNDATION
Marfan Syndrome is a condition that affects connective tissue. Because
connective tissue is found throughout the body, Marfan Syndrome can
affect many body systems, including the skeleton, eyes, heart and blood
vessels, nervous system, skin and lungs. Marfan Syndrome affects the
long bones of the body, and thus is often found in taller people.
