On Monday, staff took a group of seniors on a field trip to Filoli Gardens. They got to experience all the foliage in full bloom, walked some of the trails, and learned about the history of this historic landmark. Thank you all for joining us and we are looking forward to our next trip! 🌻🌷🌳🥾☀️❤️

✊🏾 Our 2026 theme is Resilience and we invite you to help us multiply this core value of Juneteenth.

We are launching a 35 for 35 Campaign. This is an invitation to give in honor of 35 years of Juneteenth in Santa Cruz in multiples of 35:
$3.50
$35 or $70
$350 or $700
$3,500 or $ 7,000
or $35,000
You get the idea! Resilience is what has carried this event for 35 years. Through changing times, shifting resources, and evolving community needs, this celebration has continued to show up and that is something worth protecting.

If you've already given, thank you and please share with your people! ✊🏾
