"It was such a pleasure to work with the OACC team for our nonprofit client's event this year. Their staff was helpful and communicative, in addition to our values being fully aligned with our client. It was a smooth process to work with OACC and the event turned out beautifully. We look forward to working with OACC again!"

OACC has been such an important space for not just AYPAL but Oakland more broadly. It has been the center of our leadership programming, arts events, celebration, and stakeholding in Chinatown. It is a place where core memories of our young people are being formed as the build community with each other, and develop their skills as leaders in the Oakland Community. We ♥️♥️ OACC.
-Stan (AYPAL)

"...We stand firm on a no hate policy and we expect every organization or charity we work with to hold the same values. At the end of that year we host a huge event where people,charities and other imperial and Ducal court systems attend to honor the hard work of that year and elect a new Emperor or Empress, Emprex or both. We chose the Asian Cultural center primarily due to budget considerations but quickly found out it was so much more they hold true to communities working together. The staff was warm and inviting, the space was amazing and more than adequate and the help we had through-out the event was above standards of any place else we could have chosen. We are already moving forward with next year at the same location due to the diversity and amazingness of the staff and facilities."
