About the event
Join Us for a Night of Celebration, Resilience and Empowerment
Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) is delighted to extend this invitation to you for our annual Rising Stars Celebration of Hope. This prestigious event honors the remarkable achievements of participants across all BOSS programs who have courageously navigated their journeys toward self-sufficiency.
On Friday, October 24, 2025, we will gather at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland for the Rising Stars Celebration of Hope. This evening is dedicated to honoring BOSS participants who have achieved milestones in housing, employment, education, recovery, and family reunification.
The program includes a thunderous performance from the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, an invocation by Bishop Keith Clark, a keynote address by Dr. Nichole Pettway, and beautiful ballads by Bianca Brown. Each honoree will be recognized with awards and certificates presented by BOSS and community leaders, followed by a catered dinner shared in fellowship.
