May 14th is a special night that brings together friends and leaders who care deeply about our community.
Join us for an unforgettable evening at Jazz It Up!, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and friends of Building Futures for a lively night of connection, celebration, and inspiration. Your $75 ticket includes a sumptuous seated dinner, an open bar, and amazing live jazz. The evening features our annual raffle benefit with fantastic prizes — like a signed Warriors jersey and a week in a Hawaii beach house. Event tickets will sell out!
Will you sponsor? Enjoy a great evening out and boost your business's visibility with 250 community leaders and elected officials, while fueling Building Futures' street outreach, shelter, domestic violence, and housing programs! Sponsor benefits include limited tickets. Act now to secure your benefits and tickets!
The funds raised directly support our homelessness, domestic violence, and housing programs, helping individuals and families move into new homes with dignity and stability. This event also marks and celebrates all that we have built together since Building Futures' founding in 1988. With proposed federal funding cuts threatening critical services, gathering people who believe in this work is more important than ever. It says: We don't waver — we are here to fill the need, in good times and bad.

Did you know that at our Sister Me Home, Building Futures provides confidential shelter and support services? We offer our neighbors an environment of safety, empowerment, and healing. The shelter provides 20 beds with 24-hour staffing and culturally responsive support services. Sister Me Home is open to all fleeing domestic violence.
We want to share the direct impact with you from one of our participants:
"From the very beginning, the compassionate and dedicated staff made a profound difference in my life. Your unwavering support helped me not only secure a safe and stable living environment but also provided me with the resources I needed to rebuild and thrive."

On this International Women's Day, March 8th, we come together to celebrate the courage and resilience of all the women and girls within our community.
We pay tribute to the women we serve, the dedicated women on our staff, and the invaluable contributions of our women donors. Together, with wisdom, strength, and love, we strive to foster an environment where individuals can break free from the cycles of domestic violence and homelessness.
Join us in honoring women and mothers by supporting our mission. You can make a meaningful impact by making a secure online donation at www.bfwc.org/donate or by sponsoring our upcoming May 14th event at www.bfwc.org/jazz
International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women's rights movement, and among others, gives focus to the issue of violence against women. Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer!
