About
The Indie Awards is one of several programs of One PacificCoast Bank and Foundation. Its purpose is to encourage people to recognize the community, economic, environmental, and political impact of supporting Oakland’s locally-owned businesses and artists instead of chain stores. It also provides rare opportunities for recognition for the small businesses and artists that make Oakland such a wonderful, creative place. Finally, it’s a chance for Oaklanders to just celebrate Oakland by enjoying Oakland food, wine, chocolate and music. The event serves as a fundraiser for and builds awareness of the Foundation’s other programs.
2012 marked the 6th annual celebration and going foward, we are exploring how we will take this event to celebrate small busineses and artists in other parts of the Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest.
