Oakland Family Services would like to thank everyone who attended our Building a Brighter Future Breakfast at the Townsend Hotel today. The theme of this year’s event, which attracted more than 300 people, was Making a Difference. Without your continued support, we would not be able to build brighter futures for the individuals and families we serve. We also would like to thank Guy Gordon, host WJR-AM, for serving as the emcee and, of course, all of our sponsors and volunteers.
