The Woman’s Club of Fullerton (WCOF) recently made a generous donation of $2,375 to the Muckenthaler Cultural Center, supporting the annual community quinceañera held on Saturday, August 23, 2025. This initiative provides dresses and flowers for plus-size girls, ensuring they have the opportunity to participate in this meaningful coming-of-age celebration.

The annual quinceañera at Muckenthaler Cultural Center is a cherished event that brings together local businesses and nonprofit organizations to create a night of “glitz, glamour, and a chance for young women to experience their own coming-of-age celebration.” This event specifically targets girls from local shelters or those involved with social services and from modest means backgrounds.

In collaboration with organizations such as Crittenton Services, the YWCA of North Orange County, and the Boys & Girls Club of Fullerton, the Muckenthaler Cultural Center plays a vital role in hosting this event, which aims to empower young girls and uplift their spirits through celebration.

The Muckenthaler Cultural Center also invites community members to support the program through donations to the Muckenthaler Cultural Center Foundation. In addition to the annual community quinceañera, the center serves as a historic venue available for private celebrations, including quinceañeras, making it a hub for cultural and personal milestones in the community. The commitment of local organizations to this event highlights the significant impact of community support and collaboration in fostering memorable experiences for all young women.
