May Day Fundraiser Luncheon

Join us for the May Day Fundraiser and Stanley Garcia Community Service Awards Luncheon, a special gathering to celebrate local change makers and support EOBA’s youth and education programs in East Oakland.

Registration includes a plated lunch featuring a gourmet, chef-inspired salad built on crisp seasonal greens and vibrant market vegetables, finished with a medley of bright, crunchy toppings and house made dressing with your choice of chicken, salmon, steak, or vegetarian, plus dessert and beverages.

This isn’t your typical luncheon—come ready to connect, celebrate, and have some fun! Take part in our silent auction and raffle, meet incredible people doing impactful work, and be part of a community that shows up for our youth and each other.

We can’t wait to see you there.

Tickets: $65 per person

Vote for our Honorees

Thank you for helping us recognize individuals and organizations making a real impact in Oakland.

The Stanley Garcia Community Service Awards honor those who reflect EOBA’s commitment to community, opportunity, and empowerment.

Each of this year’s nominees has made meaningful contributions not only to the broader Oakland community, but also in connection with EOBA and the people we serve.

Please review the nominees below and select the TWO you believe should be honored this year.

Empowering voters and strengthening civic engagement across Oakland.

Through a four-week Democracy Training Camp hosted at EOBA, participants build the knowledge and confidence to become informed, registered voters who understand their rights and role in shaping their community — especially at a time when voter disenfranchisement remains a critical issue.

Creating pathways to meaningful employment through inclusive workforce solutions.

K&K Empathway Design partners with organizations and communities to design inclusive workforce solutions that connect more people to sustainable, meaningful employment. Their work supports both emerging talent and nonprofits like EOBA by strengthening capacity while creating real, paid work experience.

Providing critical support and services to immigrant and underserved families.

Lao Family Community Development plays a vital role in helping families navigate employment, housing, and essential services in an increasingly complex environment. Their work has supported countless families in Oakland, including those connected to EOBA, creating stability and opportunity across generations.
