Briefly

The article highlights an upcoming community event focused on revitalizing Oakland's sports culture. On June 12, residents will gather at the New Parkway Theater to engage with key local figures including Laura Geist, GM of the Oakland Ballers, and others who are driving enthusiasm for local teams. They will share insights on sustaining community sports teams that reflect the spirit of Oakland.

With spring season in full swing, we're excited to be bringing the community together to talk about what's new and what's next... bringing energy, pride and joy back to sports in Oakland.
We'll also be treated to a special live musical performance by the rising bluegrass duo, Spicy Sally. If that weren't enough, audience members will get a chance to score some great merch.
