Thank you for your support, Pasadena Community Foundation!
Young & Healthy is extremely grateful for a grant from the unrestricted funds of the Pasadena Community Foundation, made possible by generous donors since 1953.
The Pasadena Community Foundation is an advocate for local philanthropy and is dedicated to improving the lives of people in the greater Pasadena area. An effective steward of the community’s charitable resources since 1953, the Foundation works with donors to establish charitable funds and supports nonprofit organizations through a variety of grant making programs.
2015 Mobile Dental Clinic
Young & Healthy sponsored the Mobile Dental Clinic from February 27- March 6 this year. The mobile dental vans from USC rolled in and set up shop at Eliot Middle School in order to provide services to 107 needy Pasadena area children. On Friday, all of the children received a screening and a dental treatment plan for the coming week. On Saturday each child had a complete dental cleaning. During the rest of the following week, each child had multiple appointments in order to complete their treatment plan.
Many thanks to Young & Healthy’s financial sponsors for the clinic, The Patron Saints Foundation and the Lions Club Memorial Trust. Thank you also to all our volunteers, including National Charity League Pasadena volunteers, who helped entertain the young patients who awaited their appointments, as well as Panda Cares, who donated and served a delicious lunch to all dentists, volunteers and patients and their families.
“Sunset on the Serengeti” Roaring with Fun
On January 24, 2015, over two-hundred guests enjoyed an evening on the serengeti at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in support of Young & Healthy. In tribal and bush attire, guests gathered for cocktails and a silent auction before entering the African Mammal Hall for a delicious Moroccan dinner and an exciting live auction. A long-time friend and supporter of Young & Healthy, Allen W. Mathies, Jr., M.D. was honored with the annual J. Donald Thomas Award, while tribute was paid to Chris and John Bicos, of Bicos Hospitality Group, as they accepted the inaugural Alliance Award for their contributions and efforts to help care for the children of Young & Healthy. What a fantastic night of food, friends, fundraising and continued hope for the underserved children of the Pasadena community who need healthcare services!
