A local partnership, a place for families

BECU supported the 2026 Festival Finale as title sponsor of the Kids’ Zone. Behind that contribution is a Bainbridge connection: a local branch, relationships with island organizations, and Allison Falk’s part in bringing BECU and the festival together.

Becoming part of island life

A branch opening marks a new presence in a community. The relationships that grow around it tell a longer story. BECU’s Bainbridge ribbon cutting, pictured here, offers one glimpse of that local connection.

The Bainbridge Island Chamber’s May 2026 newsletter also highlighted BECU’s partnership with Helpline House, which serves neighbors in need. That relationship is separate from the festival sponsorship, but it adds context to BECU’s involvement in island life.

The people behind the partnership

Allison Falk helped connect BECU with the festival’s local sponsorship and outreach. Her part in the relationship deserves recognition alongside the organization’s contribution.

Festivals come together through people as well as organizations: artists, volunteers, community partners, and the individuals who help those connections take shape. We thank Allison and the BECU team for their part in the 2026 celebration.

A place for children and caregivers

At the 2026 Finale, BECU’s Kids’ Zone title sponsorship supported a dedicated place for children and caregivers within the closing celebration. It gave this partnership a specific focus: the family part of a gathering built around Asian arts, heritage, and community. We are grateful for that contribution and for the people who helped bring the partnership together.

This story recognizes 2026 support. We’ll share 2027 partner announcements as they are confirmed.
