OPDC’s signature fundraiser, An Evening of Oakland Storytelling, is TONIGHT at 7 pm. Register for your virtual ticket and please consider a donation.
All event proceeds support OPDC’s programs to improve the lives of Oakland community members. A suggested donation of $40 (in honor of our 40th year in Oakland) helps OPDC continue to prepare local high school students for college and careers through School 2 Career, advocate for residents, assist senior homeowners with repairs, and so much more.
Tonight - you'll hear a three-song musical set from local singer-songwriter Sierra Sellers, stories from Ty Williams and Laura Zurowski, and a return appearance from Sellers with her Oakland-inspired story.
Thank you to our storytellers for sharing their tales, our emcee, Dave English, and host committee members: LeeAnn Anna, Lauren Bachorski, Julia Erickson and Aaron Ingley, Abass Kamara, Melisa McSwigan, Rebekkah Ranallo, and Tara Sherry-Torres.
