The Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center celebrated an important milestone - 25 years of Community, Creativity and Impact on October 9, 2025, at the Santa Ana Elks lodge. The evening was filled with joy, gratitude and inspiration that will be remembered forever!
Over 260 people attended the celebration, including dignitaries, such as, Congressman Lou Correa, OC Board of Supervisor Vincent Sarmiento, Santa Ana Mayor Valerie Amezcua, Ambassador Gaddi Vasquez, Former Mayor of Irvine, Beth Krom, OCCTAC Board of Directors, and all of our wonderful friends and community partners. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us to honor 25 years of serving children, youth, and families through the arts, education and community wellness programs. Thank you for your support, partnership and generosity so we can continue our mission in the community!
OCCTAC's 25th Anniversary was a magical night. Some of the highlights from this unforgettable evening included a beautiful venue that set the stage for our celebration with wonderful student performances that showcased the incredible talent and creativity that thrive within our OCCTAC community.
We also had very successful silent and live auctions that kept everyone engaged and excited. The evening ended with an exciting concert featuring our dear friend and Latin-Jazz musician Oskar Cartaya and his band, performing with our OCCTAC student band, while our guests danced the night away to the fun rhythms of salsa and Latin jazz. A heartfelt thank you to all of our guests, community partners and supporters!
