United Way of Orange County officially launched its 2026 fundraising campaign with its annual Campaign Kickoff Breakfast, bringing together campaign chairs, workplace leaders, local agencies, community partners, and supporters to celebrate the start of another year of community investment and impact.
The annual campaign is a cornerstone of United Way of Orange County’s work, providing funding that supports programs and initiatives addressing critical local needs. United Way’s work is centered around four focus areas: healthy community, youth opportunity, financial security, and community resiliency.
The 2026 Campaign Kickoff Breakfast gave attendees an opportunity to learn more about United Way’s work across the community, hear about current initiatives and priorities, and connect with others who are committed to making a difference in Orange County.
Through workplace campaigns, individual giving, corporate support, sponsorships, and volunteerism, community members and organizations can play an important role in helping United Way strengthen local families and address the challenges facing our community.
The event also recognized the collective effort that makes United Way’s work possible. By bringing together businesses, nonprofits, community leaders, and individuals, the annual campaign creates an opportunity for the entire community to come together around a shared commitment to making Orange County stronger.
Breakfast for the event was provided courtesy of First Financial Bank, whose continued partnership and support help make the Campaign Kickoff Breakfast possible.
