Thank you to our 2016 Sponsors
Awards 45 was held on May 5, 2016 at The City National Grove of Anaheim. We hosted this special AWARDS celebration and fundraiser to bring together an incredibly diverse collection of people in a beautiful mosaic, to share the stories of unsung heroes who make a difference every day, often one person at a time, and to lift up our vision to create safe and inclusive neighborhoods,
The honorees were individuals or groups who made extraordinary contributions to Orange County by advocating for equal civil rights in education, employment, business, health, housing, immigration, justice, and labor, among others. The gala also featured a speech by 2016 YouthSpeak contest winner, Lucinda Marvel, an 8th grade student at Oak Middle School in Los Alamitos.
This special awards event continues OC Human Relations’ annual tradition of highlighting Orange County’s outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to make our community a better place for all of us to live, work and do business.
