EBALDC Celebrates 49 Years!
49th GALA celebration Thank you to all our Supporters - 1 Last week, with 400 partners, donors, vendors, public and elected officials, friends, family members, and residents, EBALDC celebrated our 49th Anniversary in beautiful Preservation Park. We are so grateful to all of you who have worked with us in our shared vision of an Oakland and Bay Area where everyone has a place to call home and the resources to thrive.

The evening was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together, as Tanisha Rounds, our 2024 Lynette Jung Lee Resident Leadership Awardee, shared with all of us, “My dream is to see Oakland thrive and move towards greatness and inclusivity for all Oaklanders.”
