It was an exciting evening of auction and awards at the Cypress College Foundation’s 42nd Annual Americana Awards Gala at the Disneyland Hotel’s Grand Ballroom on March 4, celebrating eight of the counties most prolific givers and one special Orange County Woman of the year, all to benefit needy students at Cypress College. No one was more openly excited on this night than Los Alamitos’ own Kenny Brandyberry, one of eight Citizens of the Year.
