OCJ Kids has announced its premier annual fundraising event, the As Good As Gold Gala: Let's Adventure Together, scheduled for October 4, 2025, at the Orange Tree Golf Resort. The gala will feature music, food, program updates, and inspirational guest speakers, all dedicated to supporting youth in foster care across Arizona.
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, OCJ Kids focuses on equipping and empowering Arizona's foster and at-risk youth through essential resources, transitional support, and life-skills programs. The organization emphasizes a hands-on, relationship-driven approach, partnering directly with group homes, caseworkers, and community members to meet urgent needs quickly and consistently. This ensures that no child in the foster care system feels forgotten, addressing critical gaps in support during challenging times.
The gala will serve as a platform for former foster youth to share their transformative journeys, highlighting the tangible impact of OCJ Kids' programs and community support. Funds raised during the event will directly contribute to life-changing initiatives, essential resources, and unwavering assistance for youth in need, reinforcing the organization's mission to foster resilience and opportunity.
Attendees can participate by registering as individual fundraisers, securing event spots, or opting for sponsorships to amplify their impact.
