HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR PAST EVENT

Journey to 100 Centennial Gala

It was truly a once-in-a-century celebration! We are beyond grateful to everyone who attended our Journey to 100 Centennial Gala, held at OCVIBE’s innovative and beautifully unique ARTIC in Anaheim. It was so inspiring to see our community come together to make a difference.

 

Thanks to our amazing sponsors and all of our generous donors, $850,000 was raised to create brighter futures for everyone who calls Orange County home. These crucial funds will help support impactful programs and services that address critical issues in our community and empower our residents to reach their full potential.

 

Let’s keep the momentum going as we launch into the next century of caring for our community, together, ensuring local students succeed, OC families can build toward financial security, our neighbors experiencing homelessness find a place to call home, and everyone gets connected to the crucial resources they need via 211OC.

 

A heartfelt thank you to Stephen G. and Regina Oswald for their dedication and support as our Centennial Gala co-chairs.

Orange County United Way's Gala

We are beyond grateful to everyone who attended our Gala: ‘Every Frame Holds A Story’ this past Saturday. It was so inspiring to see our community come together at this sold-out event to create brighter futures for everyone in Orange County.


Thanks to our amazing sponsors and all of our generous donors, $900,000 (and counting!) was raised to uplift our community by solving the most critical issues facing Orange County residents. These crucial funds will help support impactful programs and services that empower our neighbors to rewrite their stories and reach their full potential.
