About
Festival of Children Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The organization was founded in 2002 by Sandy Segerstrom Daniels, a leading business professional and children's advocate who saw an opportunity to bring charities together to collaborate.
There is a network of charities, businesses and individuals who serve to improve the lives of children. Through this network, charities share ideas, businesses make resources available, and ordinary people lend a helping hand. To remain vibrant, this network needs care and support.
Festival of Children Foundation exists to strengthen this network by providing much needed programs and services to its members, helping corporations and individuals find those opportunities where their efforts can make the most impact, and by shining the power of our spotlight on the issues that affect children in America today.

About
Orangewood Children's Foundation was founded in 1981, by a concerned group of private citizens and community leaders. The Orange wood Children's Foundation raised money for the construction of the Orangewood Children's Home, which was donated to the County of Orange. The Home is Orange County's only emergency shelter for neglected and sexually, physically or emotionally abused children. The Home provides refuge each year for about 2700 children who have been removed from their caretakers by police officers or child protective services workers and placed into protective custody.
