The El Modena High boys soccer team received a grant from OUPSF for new equipment. In turn, they hosted a soccer camp for elementary and middle school students. The Villa Park High track and field program benefited from a monetary grant from OUPSF, and held an introductory camp for incoming middle school students. OUPSF puts funds to work The Orange Unified Public Schools Foundation (OUPSF) has been quietly making a posi- tive impact on thousands of stu- dents and teachers, across 31 OUSD campuses The organization was re- launched from the inactive Or- ange Education Fund, estab- lished as a nonprofit in 1995, to fund supplies and materials for students. The updated vision is to “mobilize the community to provide equitable opportunities for all of our students to learn creatively, think innovatively and collaborate effectively.” The board includes Frank Tucker, president; Anne Truex, vice president; Todd Hanson, treasurer; Amy Case, secretary; Nicol Jones, parliamentarian; Whitney Amsbary, OUSD liai- son; Wendi Forrest, fundraising chair; Christine Deihl, marketing chair; Kennedy Schaal, grants, Ron Esparza and Ilia Rolon, board members. The new board has worked with passion and commitment to build relationships within the community, striving to create op- portunities for leaders and busi- nesses to become partners for the betterment of students and schools. To that end, in just one year, the board has, in partnership with Stadium Nissan, held a car raffle fundraiser and reached out to community partners, allowing OUPSF to award over $100,000 in two rounds of grants to 128 teachers and staff during the 2023-24 school year. A partnership established with the Hilbert Museum of Califor- nia Art will transport students to view the Hilbert’s extensive exhibitions. Another partnership with Chapman University al- lowed OUSD students to show- case their musical and artistic tal- ents in Memorial Hall. A Home Depot partnership will help to create wellness centers at OUSD schools; three have already been established. Funds have been provided to aid sports teams with needed equipment and uniforms. In re- turn, those teams hold sports camps for elementary and/or middle school students. It is a win-win, as the older athletes benefit from the leadership op- portunities, to train, coach and help the younger students. The younger athletes benefit from the guidance and experience of playing on a sport and being on a team. OUPSF has entered a partner- ship with Cordoba Corp., whose founder George Pla, intends to make a direct impact for the un- derserved through sports. A $4,000 grant gave the El Modena High boys soccer pro- gram new equipment; they host- ed a soccer camp for elementary and middle school students. At Orange High, new mats were provided for the wrestling team; they, in turn, introduced wres- tling to younger students. Villa Park High’s track and field team received a grant for uniforms, and held a camp for in-coming Cerro Villa Middle School students. The first joint venture was a new handball team at Richland High, the first sports team at the school. The team, with a coach and team T-shirts, made its first tournament appearance at the annual Knox-Barrera Handball Challenge, competing against other OUSD schools. Tucker is enthusiastic about the upcoming year, and the many possibilities for growing com- munity support and partnership opportunities, particularly with the OUSD CTE programs. The enrollment in these career path- ways – aviation, culinary arts, health sciences and construction – is the largest in the state, and new partnerships would aug- ment the programs. OUPSF will operate Chil- dren’s Street at the Orange In- ternational Street Fair, and host a Celebration of Schools in Octo- ber. Board members are eager to share information about the revi- talized organization, and suggest contacting them at oupsf.org .
