Travis Credit Union is proud to support the Center's work and its 4,000 students and their families. Join us in fundraising to lift up the lives of our young people and the healing power of the performing arts.
I think of East Bay Center for the Performing Arts as a beacon of light in these challenging times. Its long history of putting community first, of opening myriad pathways for young people to find their gifts and realize their dreams, of being an anchor for Richmond’s well-being and an example for other cities—these all are vital elements of the Center’s reality and worth. But its deep understanding that all cultures have wisdoms and those diverse insights are the truest assets of the Bay Area and of the United States is what I think of as the most important treasure that the Center can offer to all of us—particularly in this moment when it seems like our differences are a weakness. They are only a weakness if we don’t see the value and strength of the best of our diversity. Please join me in lifting up the Center to shine its light ever more widely!
