Jazz It Up! 2022

Each year, Building Futures looks forward to raising a glass and enjoying great jazz with valued partners like you while raising funds to support life-changing services. San Francisco’s all-women La Mezcla Dance Company will be showing a “never seen before” performance for Building Futures at our virtual gala.

La Mezcla Dance Company

Founded and led by Vanessa Sanchez, La Mezcla Dance Company uses dance and song to tell stories of Chicana history, culture and resistance. Blending tap dance and Son Jarocho zapateado (traditional footwork from Veracruz, Mexico,) Sanchez describes this unique dance style as “zapatap.”

Sponsor
A sponsorship comes with opportunities for recognition at our virtual celebration, in print and media marketing, celebrating your support of Building Futures with more than one hundred community and business leaders in Alameda County who will attend our virtual gala.
