When OCDE officially launched its One Billion Acts of Kindness campaign on May 5, it did so with the help of several prominent Orange County leaders. Appearing along with students in a special video message, O.C. Sheriff-Coroner Sandra Hutchens, United Way CEO Max Gardner and Orange County Business Council President and CEO Lucy Dunn weighed in on what kindness means to them and how the trait impacts their respective roles.
Well, we’ve reached out to another local community member, and perhaps you’ve heard of him. His name is Mike Scioscia, and he should know a thing or two about kindness, having literally worn a halo for 16-plus years as manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
