About The Event

A huge amount of gratitude to everyone who joined us to celebrate the power of individual philanthropy at YWCA Glendale and Pasadena’s 26th Annual Heart & Excellence Awards Persimmon Donor Circle Luncheon.

Close to 250 supporters from the Pasadena and Glendale communities gathered to lift up incredible women who tireless give of their time, talent and treasures. Their leadership, community service, professional achievements, integrity, and commitment to improving the quality of life for all exemplifies the YWCA’s mission.

Major shout out to Silva Harapetian for telling her story of perseverance as a woman of color in journalism and all our extraordinary honorees, scholarship recipients, and sponsors!
