Two years ago, we set out to raise $5 million to invest in the next generation of Oxnard and Port Hueneme innovators, entrepreneurs, and workers. We set out with a belief that this investment was vital and with faith in the generosity of our friends and neighbors.
Today, after two years of unprecedented challenges, we are proud to announce we have surpassed our goal - raising $5,079,684!
These funds will make an immediate and long-lasting impact in the lives of young people who walk through our doors. They will be greeted with modern facilities, cutting-edge technology and new STEAM Innovation Labs designed to help them prepare for great futures.
We hope you can join us August 31st at 5:00 p.m. at the Martin V. Smith Youth Center (1900 W. Fifth Street) for a special reception.
On behalf of the next generation that you helped inspire – thank you!
Erin Antrim
Chief Executive Officer
We Appreciate Everyone Who Invested In Our Next Generation!
