MOMS Orange County Hosts Dream Big Kick Off to Help Provide 400 Car Seats to Families in Need
Over 30 guests attended the Dream Big Kick Off Party at The Robbin’s Nest Wine Bar in Downtown Santa Ana on Thursday, September 17, to begin the process of fundraising for MOMS Orange County and their Possible Dream as part of the Carousel of Possible Dreams presented by the Festival of Children Foundation. MOMS Orange County’s Possible Dream in 2016 is to provide car seats to babies in their program who are most in need. Their goal is to raise $25,000 by November 12 to help purchase 400 car seats.
