Our April luncheon will allow our guests the unique opportunity to connect with the many men and women in our community who want to serve, and are already serving. During this luncheon, you will:
- Meet & hear from the candidates running for City of Pasadena Mayor, City Council, and San Jacinto College and Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees,
- Meet with many of our non-profit organizations to understand their needs and learn the many ways to engage and partner with them.
- It's Volunteer Appreciation month and we want to say thank you to the many individuals who not only volunteer with the Pasadena Chamber, but with over 100 of our non-profit organizations
- Celebrate & hear from our 2025 Non-Profit of the Year: Project Joy and Hope to learn more about the wonderful things they are doing to support medically fragile children and their families
