Around Town: Girl Scouts of O.C. holding annual Voice for Girls event online this year

The Girl Scouts of Orange County will be going online for its annual Voice for Girls event, which advocates for local leaders to rally around supporting girls to reach their potential in society.

The event will be held on Sept. 18 and will begin at 9 a.m.

This year’s keynote speaker is L. Song Richardson, the dean and a chancellor’s professor of law at the UC Irvine School of Law. Discussion will focus on how community and business leaders can better understand implicit bias and how to bring meaningful and sustainable diversity to their organizations. Attendees will also hear from Girl Scouts in Orange County.

The event is free. Register at girlscoutsoc.org/vfg.

Moustaches for Kids OC and Miracles for Kids team up

No-shave November is still months away, but Moustaches for Kids OC and Miracles for Kids are hoping that such enthusiasm can be found in the summer heat.

The organizations have come together for a 30-day fundraiser, as participants will grow out their mustaches following a clean-shave photo submitted virtually on Aug. 20, taking on the challenge through Sept. 19. Those growing out their mustaches will be supplied with a fundraising page, where people can go to donate.

Funds raised will help families of critically ill children fight against the struggles of homelessness, hunger and depression.

Those wishing to register as a grower can go to moustaches4kids.com/grow-today. A $25 “stache tax” at registration will also support Miracles for Kids.
