CEO’s Letter

Dear Friends,

April holds a special place in our hearts. It is the month we pause as a community to shine a light on Child Abuse Prevention and Sexual Assault Awareness, two causes that sit at the very core of why Radiant Futures exists. Since 1976, we have walked alongside survivors and families in Orange County, offering safety, healing, and hope when it was needed most. Nearly 50 years later, that commitment has never been stronger.

This month’s newsletter tells the story of Diego, a young single father who came to us carrying more than most people his age should ever have to carry. His courage, and the quiet resilience of his child, remind us of exactly who we are fighting for. Healing is possible. Cycles can be broken. And the right support at the right time can change the entire trajectory of a family’s life.

That support exists because of you.

Which is why I hope you will join us on April 25, 2026, for Back to the Radiant Futures, our annual ball at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach. Think 80s prom night meets Back to the Future for an unforgettable evening of community, celebration, and purpose. Every ticket and every sponsorship directly fund the programs that change lives.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses and community partners ready to make a visible, lasting investment in our neighbors’ safety and wellbeing. Individual tickets are on sale now.

To purchase tickets or explore sponsorship packages, visit Back to the Radiant Futures Ball – Radiant Futures. We would love to have you with us.

Thank you for being part of this community.

With gratitude and hope,

Mark
