Our Current Event Sponsors

“I have been a long-time donor to Oakland Promise because I want the young people in the city I call home to have the opportunity to transform their lives through higher education. I believe in the power of post-secondary education to break the cycle of poverty, to launch young people into the careers of their choosing, and to inspire generations to come.”

Susan Stutzman, Oakland Promise Board Chair and Community Member
