A HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM BABC OC PRESIDENT

This year in the UK has been momentous, notably marked by King Charles III’s coronation. This historic event ushers in a new chapter for the British monarchy and, alongside other significant events like Eurovision in Liverpool and the Women’s World Cup, highlights the UK’s vibrant role in global culture and sports.

In 2023, BABC OC has proudly hosted a series of remarkable events: our Annual Golf Tournament, the engaging First Thursday Beer, Business, and Banter Networking events, the inspiring ‘Leading Ladies in Business’ Panel, the 3rd Annual Best of British Brands Showcase, a comprehensive panel on ‘Currency Transfer, Tax Planning, UK Pensions, Immigration, and Banking’, and the International Business Mixer with various international business chambers. In partnership with BABC LA, we presented the ‘Fashion & Sustainability Reimagined’ Speaker Luncheon and, in collaboration with BABC LA and BABC SF, the captivating ‘Fireside Chat with Stewart Pearce’ in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Your support for these events has been invaluable.

Your generosity over the years has enabled us to profoundly impact the lives of young people in Orange County. Thanks to your contributions, numerous students have experienced the UK firsthand, broadening their horizons and enriching their lives. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support.

As we enjoy the Holiday festivities, we also launch our goal for the coming year: to expand our scholarship program to include cash scholarships for graduating seniors in Orange County. Your donations, whether through silent auction items, raffle prizes, or simply attending the Christmas Luncheon, play a crucial role in changing young lives. Like a pebble creating ripples in a pond, your support has a lasting, positive impact.

Finally, we extend our warmest wishes to each of you for a festive and joyous holiday season. May your days be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones and family. Stay safe and revel in the spirit of togetherness and celebration. Here’s to a season of happiness and a new year filled with prosperity and joy.

Happy Holidays to you all from the BABC OC family!
