The banquet, which was attended by nearly 300 people, featured two guest speakers: former Angels coach and Dodgers player Mickey Hatcher, and USC’s blind long snapper Jake Olson, who also played at Orange Lutheran High. More than 50 athletes and coaches from Orange County high schools were honored – ocregister.comBefore we get to the good stuff (event photos & details) here are the three questions we asked our client, Project Director Caroline Wong about her expereince at the museo:
- What was the best part of your event? The wonderful support we get from our annual sponsors and partners which enabled The Orange County Register to honoree 51 high school coaches and athletes with 56 individual awards. Mickey Hatcher and Jake Olson were both amazing special guest speakers; they brought down the house!
- Which car in the museum seemed to be a crowd favorite? When you have a bunch of teenagers — particularly guys — all the cars are drool-worthy. From the logistics side, the museum gives guests — particularly early arrivals — a fun, visual activity while the staff finishes set up and meals are prepared.
- Please tell us more… is there anything else you’d like to share with us? We are always thrilled to work with Marconi each year on the OCVarsity Athlete of the Year Awards.
