Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach and 14 area clubs partnered with the Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF) to host Greatness Amplified, a fundraising day for all Boys & Girls Clubs in Orange County, on Aug. 15. The 24-hour online effort raised $225,000 with the participation of more than 389 donors from local organizations providing support and resources to children in need.

The participating clubs included Boys & Girls Clubs in Anaheim, Brea-Placentia-Yorba Linda, Buena Park, Capistrano Valley, Central Orange Coast, Cypress, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Valley, Laguna Beach, La Habra, South Coast Area, Stanton, Tustin and Westminster.

“It was great working collaboratively with all of the Orange County Boys & Girls Clubs to get the word out about how we are helping kids and getting new support from across Orange County,” said Pam Estes, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach.

OCCF powered the Greatness Amplified campaign by providing seed funding to support the marketing assets, campaign resources and collaborative partnerships. Greatness Amplified is part of a series of collaborative “Giving Days” that will take place in Orange County as part of an initiative from OCCF to boost the capacity of local nonprofits to meet the community’s needs.

Additional collaborative Giving Days will be announced over the coming year. For more information, visit www.oc-cf.org/iheartoc.
