There are few places I’ve called home in my life. And while I initially protested our move to the OC, I honestly don’t know that I could ever live anywhere else. Beyond the county’s beauty, the seemingly endless array of things to do, and the award-winning schools, Orange County is where my kids have grown up…it is their home. And that is enough to compel me to support the first-ever “i♥oc Giving Day!”
Recently, I told you about the organization behind this important community-wide event. The goal is to raise $2 million for local nonprofit organizations to continue helping Orange County thrive. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Orange County Community Foundation has donated more than $257 million to local nonprofit organizations with real, measurable results in our community. Within this 30-hour period of time from April 21st through April 22nd, the OCCF will seek to raise $2 million for organizations like the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, which seeks to bring the arts (music, dance, theater) to our community while serving as a resource for community education and the YMCA of Orange County (which my kids are a part of), which improves the lives of youth through programs that build healthy bodies, minds, and spirits.
