Girls Inc. 50th Anniversary Golden Gala
Rotunda Building, Downtown Oakland

In honor of our 50 years of service, Girls Inc. of Alameda County is hosting a black-tie optional event where the businesses, organizations and individuals who have been integral to the successes of our agency will gather to celebrate. Our agency has evolved from a curriculum of cooking, sewing and typing classes for 20 girls in 1958 to our cutting edge, multi-service organization with programs that nurture 7,000 girls’ interest in science, math, technology, sports and leadership today.

Come help us celebrate all the Alameda County girls who have been inspired to be strong, smart and bold since 1958.
