UPDATE: WE RAISED OVER $2,000 AT THIS FUNDRAISER!!! Fundraiser for Oakland Communities United for Equity and Justice Saturday, October 13, 2018, 6:30-9:30 at Mariposa Grove - 828 59th St, Oakland Phat Beets Produce, Self Help Hunger Program, and North Oakland Restorative Justice Council are the sister organizations that make up the 501(c)3 non-profit OCUEJ. We will party in the garden with some music, a silent auction, some yummy snacks, and a juice bar. Please join us! If you would like to attend, please RSVP below and we will send you details. We chose to raise funds for OCUEJ because they are working hard in our neighborhood to honor our elders, get hungry people fed, bring healthy food to those without access, provide youth jobs and job skill development, support families and neighborhoods that have experienced violence, advocate for those being displaced due to gentrification and much more. If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so at the Phat Beets website. Choose the Donate button under "General Donation to Phat Beets". We are also happy to accept non-monetary donations, such as food for the fundraiser or items for the Silent Auction. Items of varying values are appreciated, so that more people can participate. If you have a skill that you could share, for example: running errands, gardening, making music, making repairs, etc., these could be very popular as auction items. To make non-monetary contributions, please complete this form. We can provide you with a receipt for your taxes. We will have a table with information about OCUEJ and organizations, businesses, or individuals who contribute to the event. |
At a fundraiser a few years ago for Causa Justa, we had music provided by the amazing Oakland Manouche Project.
