We can't WAIT to see you there!

On Friday, October 9, RCF Connects is turning the historic California Theatre in Pittsburg into an R&B celebration with Pagers & Promises: An R&B Pop-Up.

For three hours, DJ G-Money of In The Mix will keep the R&B flowing, with Christina Kenney — Emcee Inhergy — hosting the evening.

Fundraising doesn’t have to feel like a fundraiser. And while we’re dancing, we’re investing.

Every dollar raised benefits Equity for Black Women & Girls (E4BWG) and its work to expand economic opportunity, entrepreneurship, community support, and leadership for Black women and girls in Contra Costa County.

Through programs including Sistas SOAR, Sister Circles, and Embodied Leadership Coaching, E4BWG is creating spaces where Black women and girls can build businesses, strengthen connections, grow as leaders, and pursue economic power.

As Taylor Sims, Senior Director of E4BWG, puts it:
“E4BWG exists to change that math, and this is a night where funding that work feels like a celebration instead of an obligation.”

Come for the R&B. Come for the community. Come knowing that your night out is helping fuel meaningful work.

Tickets run from $35 to $60
