Envision Education Equity

Oakland’s school, community, and corporate leaders came together to celebrate 20 years helping students learn, grow, and thrive. The Gala-xy included dinner, silent and live auction, and dancing all at the astronomical observatory, Chabot Space & Science Center. This is the only event supporting all Oakland public schools with fundraising that drives education equity – giving students and teachers more opportunities and tools to be successful.
