BECU
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
BECU’s Bainbridge branch ribbon cutting, pictured here, marks the beginning of a local presence that also includes relationships with island organizations.
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.

Allison Falk helped bring BECU and the festival together through local sponsorship and outreach. We thank Allison and the BECU team for helping make this partnership possible.
Her involvement is a reminder of the people behind festival sponsorships: neighbors who make introductions, share ideas, and help turn a conversation into support for the celebration.

Festival contribution
A place for children and caregivers
At the 2026 Finale, BECU was the title sponsor of the Kids’ Zone, a dedicated place for children and caregivers within the celebration. We thank BECU for supporting families as they came together for Asian arts, heritage, and community.
