Orange County’s oldest and largest nonprofit serving individuals most affected by their disabilities, Reimagine, marked its 75th anniversary with a carnival at its Santa Ana campus for participants that was filled with food, fun and plenty of smiles, on September 13.

The festive event brought together Reimagine participants, families, staff, and Board members for an evening of joyful connection. Guests enjoyed carnival games and treats, face painting and magic tricks — all in honor of the organization’s remarkable legacy of service and advocacy.
