On 10.10.2020, nearly 200 people joined together in the virtual space to celebrate the work of East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC) and raised a record breaking $270,000 to invest in the children and families served by EBAC programs. Thank you to everyone who gave generously. EBAC is so grateful to you and especially to the members of the EBAC Auxiliary who meticulously planned and replanned this year's event in light of the pandemic restrictions. The event was fun and inspiring. Guests received a meal delivered to their homes from one of our participating restaurants: Wood Tavern, Hopscotch and Agave Uptown. Guests also received a swag bag that included mixings for a signature cocktail, yard sign to show participation, custom decorated placemat and more!
The evening's emcee, Dr. Stephen Lockhart, Chief Medical Officer at Sutter Health, entertained the guests with some humor and silliness and also engaged in a serious conversation with California's Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, about Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs. EBAC CEO, Josh Leonard, shared insights and stories of EBAC's work and impact.
An online auction held the week prior to the virtual InView Alt-Gala contributed over $60,000 to the total funds raised. Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who donated items to this auction.
Thank you to our sponsors whose support made this event happen. We appreciate your continued support.
