Positive Force for Change Benefit

Coming March 2026

What truly defines a change maker? Though some are recognized by name or popularity, real change begins with the drive to create better experiences for our communities, homes, and lives beyond our own. It grows from the desire for a better future, no matter who is watching. Hosted by Bay Area Creative, our annual Positive Force for Change Benefit seeks to honor local changemakers who model this leadership. 

In addition to our change maker awards ceremony, this event will feature a dance, spoken word poetry, hip-hop dance, and visual arts performances from youth and Bay Area Creative teaching artists, uplifting the creator in everyone. Positive Force for Change is a key fundraiser that helps us continue to provide resources and a voice for underrepresented artists and youth, extending our impact and uniting audience members into a larger, stronger community. 

Awardees are community-nominated, recognized for their contributions to uplift and aid others. Whether it be through education, innovation, or neighborhood projects, their actions demonstrate the power of a unified force, driven to action with a collective goal. They may be artists, educators, and community members who help open these doors of inspiration. Corporate teams are also celebrated for leadership that looks beyond profit to create meaningful impact.

Positive Force for Change leaves guests with more than memories of who was honored. They will carry the proof that hope is not abstract, that generosity creates momentum, and that when communities come together for a common goal, change becomes possible.

Because positivity is a force. And when it is amplified, it changes everything.
