Santa Ana, Calif. (March 7, 2023) – MOMS Orange County, the county’s largest nonprofit dedicated solely to newborn and pregnancy health, will mark its annual Healthy Beginnings, Bright Futures fundraiser with an evening celebration on Saturday, May 13. Returning to a gala format after several years, they’ve selected the scenic Marconi Automotive Museum for the event to include live music, dinner, auctions, speakers and after-party with racing simulators and games.

All proceeds will fund the nonprofit’s educational and support services aimed at disrupting the combined dynamics of poverty, lack of health insurance, and barriers to care.

Actress, mother and former Disney Ambassador Jessica Bernard will emcee the affair with dinner catered by White House Catering. Dress is cocktail attire at the renown Marconi Automotive Museum, home to over 100 vehicles including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, muscle and race cars, motorcycles and automotive memorabilia.
