Philanthropy in Pink: 12-year-old Anika Ortiz raises money for Mariposa Women & Family Center

A breeze rustles pink and white balloons tied with curly ribbons to a sign at a nondescript business park in Orange.

Down the walkway and just outside the doors of Mariposa Women & Family Center, cookies and pink punch await shoppers visiting Anika’s Pink Closet Boutique Experience for Girls.

Inside, a room that a few hours earlier hosted an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting has been transformed into a shopping mecca designed for young girls on a budget.

National Philanthropy Day will recognize three Orange residents

At the National Philanthropy Day luncheon, it’s not uncommon to leave with a tear in your eye.

That’s what Mitch Spann, senior co-chair, said of the event recognizing Orange County residents for their outstanding philanthropic services.

“It really is the single largest showcase for the importance of nonprofits in Orange County and beyond,” Spann said. “The event vacillates from total excitement and energy to deep and meaningful stories that are sometimes difficult to get through without having a little bit of a tear in your eye.”

Local Focus: Newport Residents to be Honored on National Philanthropy Day

“The practice of giving money and time to help make life better for other people.”

That’s how Webster’s dictionary defines the word “philanthropy.”

For a local definition, you’d simply find two names listed: Victoria Collins and Natalie Cernius. These two community volunteers are being honored at the 28th annual National Philanthropy Day luncheon being held at Hyatt Regency Irvine on Thursday, November 21.
