9th Annual Dragon Challenge 2026

  • OCSA Margaret A. Webb Theatre 801 N Main Street Santa Ana, CA, 92701 United States (map)

The Dragon Challenge is our Annual Foundation Gala where our top scoring Fellowship Projects, led by talented high school students, compete for additional funding to further their transformative initiatives. 

After completing a 7 month Fellowship Program and creating their very own do-good service project to serve their communities, these young leaders will present their final project results to a distinguished panel of judges. Showcasing their hard work, dedication, and passion for making a difference, one project will be selected as our 2026 Dragon Challenge winner and awarded an additional $5,000 to continue their project for another year.

By attending the Dragon Challenge, you'll witness firsthand the incredible potential of our fellows and the profound impact they are making in their communities. Your presence and support will help us continue empowering the next generation of leaders and innovators.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of an evening filled with inspiration, community spirit, and the celebration of our future change makers.
