The Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) recently hosted its annual Legacy Luncheon on Wednesday, April 26, to recognize and honor its donors and professional advisors who have contributed significantly to its growth and sustainability over the decades. The event was held in-person and saw over 100 guests in attendance who enjoyed a social gathering, lunch, and a program with guest speakers and a video.
PCF’s Director of Development, Liz Algermissen, expressed her joy at the event being held in person this year, as last year’s luncheon was held virtually due to the pandemic. She noted the excitement and enthusiasm in the room as guests caught up with each other, and the event was filled with many hugs and smiles.
PCF is a nonprofit organization that aims to build and sustain a thriving community in the greater Pasadena area and beyond. In 2022, the foundation awarded $2.2 million to 116 Pasadena-area nonprofit agencies, and this robust grant-making was made possible by the Endowment Builders & Legacy Society Members. These donors create permanent support for causes and organizations they care about in the community, and their contributions are crucial to the foundation’s current and future grant-making. Currently, PCF’s assets stand at $140 million, and $100 million of that total is permanently endowed, providing perpetual support for the foundation’s grant-making.
The event was sponsored by Gregory, Filias, Bucshalter, etc.; Hall Capital; Hahn & Hahn; and IDS Real Estate, and guests enjoyed a presentation by Sherry Dewane, a financial advisor with UBS Financial Services. She leveraged her 25 years of experience in financial services to present “Fraud, Forgery and Other Funny Business,” an illuminating talk about protecting one’s assets from nefarious actors.
