Join the Costa Mesa Historical Society and Orange Coast College for a special 25 Year Tribute commemorating September 11, 2001.
This special Speakers Program will feature Angie Kardashian, “The Power of One,” and FDNY Captain Michael Donovan, sharing personal stories of service, courage, and the lasting impact of September 11.
Angie Kardashian: The Power of One
Following the September 11 attacks, Angie Kardashian left behind her restaurant of 22 years and traveled to New York City with a desire to help.
Over the next two years, she prepared meals for 103 New York City fire companies, building lasting relationships with firefighters and becoming an honorary firefighter.
Angie continues to share her story, “The Power of One,” as a reminder of the difference one person can make through service, compassion, and action.
FDNY Captain Michael Donovan
FDNY Captain Michael Donovan will join Angie to share his perspective and experiences as a New York City firefighter and reflect on the firefighters, first responders, families, and communities forever affected by September 11.
Together, Angie and Captain Donovan will offer a deeply personal remembrance of September 11 and the extraordinary acts of service and connection that followed.
