In this episode of the "What's Up Irvine" podcast, we had the privilege of interviewing Tina Anderson, the President of Irvine's 2/11 Marine Adoption Committee (IMAC). Join us as we delve into a captivating conversation with Tina, where she shares her life experiences that impacted her at a young age, and how those experiences led her to the incredible work being done by the committee to support the 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines Regiment.

Tina sheds light on the meaningful connections forged between the Irvine community and the brave Marines, their families, and veterans. She discusses the committee's initiatives, such as care package drives, holiday events, and fundraisers, all aimed at providing unwavering support and gratitude to those who have served our country. We explore the heartwarming stories of the strong bond that exists between Irvine residents and the Marine battalion. Tina provides a glimpse into the committee's future endeavors and how they continue to make a positive impact on the lives of Marines and their families.
