Presented by the Alexis de Tocqueville Society
Each fall, the Alexis de Tocqueville Society presents the Orange County United Way’s Gala to honor philanthropists, leaders, and donors of the past and present while raising funds to support our mission and create brighter futures for everyone in Orange County. We are so grateful for this extraordinary group of community leaders who are inspiring lasting change and tackling Orange County’s most crucial issues.
Orange County United Way’s Gala
Saturday, November 1, 2025 | 5:00 – 11:00 P.M
Location: TBD
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.
