What to Wear

To celebrate our Silver Gala we want YOU to shine.  Dazzle your friends and fellow guests by wearing elegant, sophisticated glitter and sequins. Shimmer into the Gold Bar for cocktails, shine as you raise your paddle during dinner, and then dazzle us on the dance floor.

November evenings on Treasure Island can be chilly, so don’t forget to extend that sparkle to jackets, cloaks and pashminas.

Mission Message

Shining a Light

For over 25 years the EBAC Auxiliary has been shining a light on East Bay Agency for Children, raising millions of essential dollars to help thousands of children and their families in Alameda county.

A Star is Born

From its humble beginnings in 1952 when a group of East Bay families with $45 and a room, started a six week program to help a small group of children with special needs and learning differences. EBAC has grown meteorically, now serving over 24,000 children and their families each year, propelled by a budget of $25 million.​

Wish Upon a Star

The North Star 

Coaching and Case Management for at-risk-youth keeps teens safe, in class, out of the principal's office, and headed for graduation

Tiny Stars Light the Universe

After School Programs for 1,000 elementary students in seven Oakland schools extend learning, nourish with food and play, and support working parents so their children can shine bright.
