Thank you for attending the 47th Annual Orange County Youth Sports Foundation banquet!

The OCYSF was founded in 1971 to support and enable a thriving youth community through sport. Our board members are privileged to continue that tradition by funding athletic programs, sports experiences and college scholarships for local student athletes, and by providing opportunities for disadvantaged kids in Orange County to participate in sports and attend exciting sporting events.  Tonight’s Banquet is our ONLY night to raise money for these OCYSF programs this year.  Your generosity will fund the programs, experiences and scholarships that OCYSF provides, and will continue to help today’s youth overcome challenges and become tomorrow’s successful adults.

We are kicking off 2024 in style with the legendary Bob Costas hosting our three OCYSF Sportspersons of the Year, Gold Medalists Janet Evans, Ann Myers Drysdale, and April Ross.

Please enjoy tonight’s celebration, and remember as you bid on the silent auction items and participate in our live auction that every contribution plays a vital role in supporting the fantastic programs highlighted tonight.

Now, let’s spread the word and connect on social media. Follow and like @OCYSF on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay updated on our mission—bringing charity, sportsmanship, scholarship, and fun to the young hearts in our community.

Let the celebration begin!

Mike Perisi
