After a gray and cloudy start, the skies cleared just in time for our annual Mayday Fundraiser, setting the stage for a beautiful spring afternoon.

Guests gathered in our newly designed  Cabana Lounge for refreshments, toured the campus, and enjoyed the many improvements across the campus. From the lush gardens to the renovated gym and transformed multi-purpose room, visitors saw firsthand the continued growth and investment in our community.

The highlight of the afternoon was a powerful video featuring our young people, who shared their experiences and the impact EOBA has had on their lives. Their stories reminded everyone why this work matters.

We were also proud to recognize outstanding community leaders and partners, including Adonal Foyl of the Kerosene Lamp Foundation, The Lao Family Community Development,  The League of Women Voters Oakland , and K&K Empathway Design for their commitment to strengthening our communities.

Most importantly, thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, partners, and supporters, we met our fundraising goal.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Mayday 2026 a success. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
