I've known the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts almost as long as I've been alive, dating back to my first piano lesson at the age of 5. For me, the Center provided a creative outlet, world class music and arts training, exposure to diverse cultures and communities, and a network of mentors that shaped my path in life. For countless students, the Center is also a safe haven and a beacon of light within a historically underserved neighborhood in Richmond, CA.
Through my experience as a former student for 13 years, and my involvement as a Board Member for the past 4 years, I've seen the impact that the East Bay Center has on the lives of the 4000+ students we serve and the community at large. While we can't absolve the world of all of its inequities at once, the East Bay Center is making a difference in the heart of our local community - one music lesson, one theater ensemble, one college application, and one student at a time.
I've found no greater fulfillment than in giving back to an organization that invested so much in me throughout my childhood. I hope you'll join me in supporting the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, and in doing so, helping current and future generations of youth in Richmond realize their full potential and contribute to the world around them.
