Endorsement of the goals of USA250-OC by community leaders and institutions throughout Orange County is important to its success.
Leaders in the arts, education, business, labor, civic and faith-based organizations, cultural entities, local government, the media, and other segments of the community can encourage their colleagues and sister organizations to engage in activities consistent with their own on-going business or activities while commemorating the founding of the United States, its underlying principles, our common rights and responsibilities, and Orange County’s historical role.

“The 250th birthday of the United States is the perfect opportunity for the cities of Orange County to encourage their citizens and residents to reflect on our shared rights and responsibilities, our nation’s founding principles, and the continued journey to our more perfect union.”
Richard Stein
President & CEO, Arts Orange County
“The arts, in its vast array of forms, can bring to life the incredible story of our nation’s founding. Through music, dance, visual arts, and theater, they will be important contributions to the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the United States.”
Charles Zhang
Founder, OC Music & Dance
“Whether natural-born citizens, citizens by choice, or visitors in the United States, we all enjoy the self-evident truths asserted in the Declaration of Independence – that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and that government rests on the consent of the governed. On this 250th anniversary, we should all reflect on and celebrate these principles.”
