A Wild & Crazy Success! Over $190,000 Raised
On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the OC Fair & Event Center came alive with flavor and community spirit as over 500 guests gathered for our 32nd Annual Wild & Crazy Taco Night—and what a night it was!
From the very first bite to the final cheers, the energy was electric. Talented chefs from 14 local restaurants served up bold, imaginative taco creations you won’t find anywhere else—think tempura squash stuffed with Maine lobster, Asian braised pork belly with chili aioli, black garlic infused hot honey and fried chicken, and more.
Guests savored bold taco creations, connected with fellow food lovers, and cast their votes for the most creative bites—all while enjoying music, sipping signature margaritas, and rallying together to support a meaningful cause.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our attendees, sponsors, and chefs, we’re thrilled to share that we raised over $190,000 to support Share Ourselves’ mission of providing care and assistance to our neighbors in need. Every dollar raised helps us offer medical, dental, behavioral health, food, and social services to thousands across Orange County.
A massive thank you to our chefs who donated their time, creativity, and culinary magic, and to our sponsors who made this event possible. You are the heart and soul of this celebration!
Let’s Keep the Love Going!
