Best Chance for Lowest Price Tickets; Sale Begins April 29

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Register now for a gathering unlike any festival or communal event in the world. Burning Man Project has opened registration for the 2026 Main Sale, inviting participants to help create Black Rock City—an ephemeral metropolis of more than 70,000 participants from over 100 countries that rises from the Nevada desert and disappears without a trace just days later. This year’s event will be guided by the theme of Axis Mundi, inviting participants to build art, camps, and mutant vehicles while fostering connection and community.

Registration is required, and you don’t want to miss out on the Best Burning Man ever. The Main Sale is the primary opportunity to secure tickets at a range of price points—offering access to an experience that can’t be replicated, streamed, or revisited later.

“Black Rock City is a place people build together—through art, generosity, and shared effort,” said Burning Man Project CEO Marian Goodell. “Its ephemerality is part of what makes it powerful. You can’t come later—you have to show up and be part of it. Each year offers a new chance to participate in something larger than yourself.”

Ribbon Cutting Signals a New Era of Integrated Support for Justice-Impacted Individuals

DALLAS, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The T.D. Jakes Foundation, in partnership with Operation HOPE, successfully launched the T.O.R.I. Community Office in South Dallas on April 18, 2026, marking a significant step forward in redefining how reentry and economic empowerment are delivered at scale.

The grand opening and ribbon cutting brought together national leadership and key stakeholders, including Chairman T.D. Jakes, John Hope Bryant, and Kelley Cornish, alongside District 8 Congresswoman Lorie Blair, Peter Brodsky, investor and majority owner of The Shops at RedBird, Judge Faith Johnson, the T.O.R.I. leadership team, program alumni, and leaders from across the Dallas community.

More than a new location, the T.O.R.I. Community Office represents a strategic shift toward a more integrated, place-based model of support; one that combines reentry services with financial empowerment under one roof. The space includes a dedicated Operation HOPE Financial Empowerment Center, providing on-site access to credit coaching, financial literacy, and wealth-building tools for justice-impacted individuals and their families.

The launch comes at a critical time. Nearly 600,000 individuals return from incarceration each year in the United States, often facing significant barriers to employment and financial stability.

By aligning workforce readiness with financial education, the T.D. Jakes Foundation and Operation HOPE are addressing one of the most persistent gaps in reentry, access to economic opportunity.

The RedBird location also marks Operation HOPE’s first community office in Dallas, extending more than 30 years of financial empowerment expertise directly into a historically underserved but rapidly evolving economic corridor.

Chairman T.D. Jakes, T.D. Jakes Foundation, President and CEO Kelley Cornish, and Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman, and CEO John Hope Bryant led the day’s program, underscoring the national implications of the initiative.

“To have a unique space like this in Dallas, in the country, to pull together Chairman Jakes, John Hope Bryant, and both their visions for economic development in one space, it’s a story within itself,” said Kelley Cornish, President and CEO of the T.D. Jakes Foundation.

“You have to move people from the streets to the suites. Reentry is not charity. It’s talent recovery,” said John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE.

“When a heart changes, a life changes. When a life changes, a building changes. When a building changes, a city changes,” said Chairman T.D. Jakes. “Now, Texas Offenders Reentry Initiative has taken on a change and become Thriving Opportunities for Returning Individuals to widen its scope beyond just the parameters of the city and take on this nation and I dare say to take on the world.”

Through its broader initiatives, the T.D. Jakes Foundation has reached more than 783,000 individuals, activated 73 partners nationwide, and invested over $10 million to expand access to workforce, education, and financial empowerment resources. The T.O.R.I. Community Office builds on this momentum, positioning Dallas as a blueprint for a scalable, national model that connects reentry to long-term economic mobility.

About the T.D. Jakes Foundation

The T.D. Jakes Foundation is a national nonprofit organization committed to improving the lifelong outcomes of individuals and communities who have limited access to resources and opportunities. Through bold, collaborative programs in workforce development, education, financial literacy, and community transformation, the Foundation creates lasting pathways to economic mobility.
