Organizations pair up for a great and moving cause
The year 2015 brought the ‘ray of sunshine’ much needed for Anika Ortiz, aged 12, and her family. The life changing event of losing her sister Alejandra to domestic violence had taken the color out of their world. Anika and her mother began to think of the hundreds of other families that have to live with the pain of losing a loved one. Anika’s Pink Closet was created in her bedroom and became a pop-up boutique created to bring awareness to domestic violence.
Her boutique opened at the Mariposa Women & Family Center. Anika sold used clothing, accessories, toys and other goods for girls, in which ten percent of her proceeds were given back to the center, helping low-income women and families with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence and other issues. Later that year, Anika’s fabulous concept was recognized as she was presented with the Youth Award on National Philanthropy Day. She has also been named one of the ‘100 Most Influential People’ in Orange County. Since then, Anika has started teaching monthly classes with topics such as friendship, bullying, building self-esteem and how to be the best version of yourself! With the support of different organizations such as Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Anika has been privileged to share her boutique experience and healing journey through fashion.

The Center kindly asks that donations be brought in a clear plastic bag. As a general safety precaution for all guests, security team members may request to see the contents of the bag(s) prior to entry. After entry, guest services team members will be able to guide patrons to the donation booth located on the Plaza Level.
