For Oak Cliff

WE HAVE A NEW HOME! For Oak Cliff has acquired the former Moorland YMCA! This historic facility will serve as our new community center. We thank God for this opportunity and impact we’ll make for our community. We honor our ancestors and elders who came before us and set the foundation for us to stand on and opened the doors for us to walk through. Our hearts are filled with joy for the youth that will fill this space and the lives that will be blessed!!! #foroakcliff “We do not own the rights to this song; the song title is "What It Feels Like" by Nipsey Hussle and Jay-Z.” #community #nonprofit #4oakcliff #nonprofits #dallasnonprofits #education #advocacy #oakcliff #dallas #dallasnonprofits #newbuilding #newhome #dualgen #twogen #dualgendallas #capitalcampaign #donate

✈️ We’re halfway to our goal of raising $15,000 to provide passports & travel grants to deserving students! This #TooFlyTuesday, I wanted to highlight Too Fly Foundation’s work with the Dallas Mavericks & For Oak Cliff. Because of your generous contributions and an aligned vision of creating opportunities for our Dallas youth, we were able to pipeline our Virtual Reality travel program, Travel@Home, to Black & Brown students. This gave them an opportunity to travel to the home countries of Dallas Mav’s players (fun fact: the Mavs had one of the highest numbers of international players). It’s through your donations that we’re able to develop innovative & engaging programs to create a curiosity for international travel and provide a means for students to do so.

Juneteenth is a day of liberation. On this day in 1865, Executive Order No. 3 freed all enslaved people in Texas. Today, we celebrate the resilience of our ancestors. We show gratitude to Mrs. Opal Lee for her advocacy to make today a recognized holiday. Last weekend, we came together under unity and love for our Juneteenth Festival & Farmers Market. It was a day of fellowship and community. Big shoutout to our annual Juneteenth Festival title partner @dtlrofficial - your annual contributions to this community experience mean so much to us. Over 1,800 community members joined us and enjoyed free food, fresh produce, swimming, dancing, mechanical bull, @thehoopbus, and so much more! With the help of 180 volunteers we were able to bring this celebration of freedom to life — thank you! 🐎 Yall know we own the summer, so up next is our 10th Annual Back to School Festival on August 10th — something big is coming!👀 Grateful for our event partners: @dtlrofficial @dallaszoo @wellsfargo @parklandhealth Event Credits Videography: @jcicreatives Event Design: @roses.rnt.red Inflatables: @bouncinarounddfw Voters Registration: @mttptexas MC: @ninatheemcee DJ: @dj_gs__ Sound: @in2uneproductions Food Vendors: @williamschickenofficial @ruthiesforgood @qulinaryoasis @gourmetroyale @konaice @mrsugarrush @daughtersacross #foroakcliff #4oakcliff #juneteenthfestival #dallasjuneteenthevents #farmersmarket #oakcliff

Last year we held our inaugural headshot fundraiser to commemorate #Juneteenth and donated $900 to For Oak Cliff, a nonprofit organization committed to serving the South Oak Cliff community. I'm so excited to share that this year we surpassed 2023's total and donated over $1,250 to REMEMBERING BLACK DALLAS! The folks here work hard to document, preserve, and illuminate Black history and culture in Dallas, which we're so grateful for. In addition to raising money for an incredible cause, this fundraiser gave me the privilege of spending some quality 1:1 time with Alexandra, Amber, Colin, Christina, Dustin, Craig, Yu-Chun, and Moe. I can't wait to do this again next year. Big thanks to Dialexa, an IBM Company's DEI council for championing this initiative, to Meg and Evan for contributing their photography skills, and to all the Dialexans who participated! Also, thank you, Meg, for putting together this snazzy graphic 🔥
