On October 18, 2025, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County hosted its second annual Keys to 100 Gala at the Avenue of the Arts Hotel in Costa Mesa. The evening brought together community leaders, partners, and supporters in celebration of Habitat OC’s shared vision of affordable homeownership for all.
Guests enjoyed an unforgettable performance by Andy Vargas, the voice of Santana, a silent auction filled with unique experiences, and powerful stories from Habitat homeowners whose journeys embodied what it means to build hope and stability.
By the end of the night, attendees helped raise more than $350,000, exceeding the goal by $100,000. Every dollar raised will help build 100 new homes in the coming years for hardworking families in Orange County. Together, we’re building homes that create belonging, provide stability, and shape brighter futures.
