On Saturday, March 12, over 175 guests congregated at the La Canada Flintridge Country Club for Young & Healthy’s annual gala “The Cosmopolitan Club”, a mid-century nightclub-themed event. Dr. Ying Ying Goh, Director of Pasadena Public Health the the Altadena Seventh-day Adventist Church were honored with the J. Donald Thomas Award. This award is given to those whose dedication, perseverance, and selfless devotion to the wellbeing of children exemplifies the spirit that led to the founding of Young and Healthy over 32 years ago. With matching gifts from the Helen and Will Webster Foundation, the organization raised over $545,000 for its programs.
The evening began with libations and bar bites in the Ginger Monkey Lounge and was followed by dinner and a live auction in The Cosmopolitan Club. Guests came for a night filled with music and heart, as Young & Healthy raised funds to support the vital prevention, education, family support and access to healthcare services that they provide to the uninsured and underserved children and their families in the greater Pasadena area.
Founded in 1990, Young & Healthy was born from a community need to improve quality of life for children in the Pasadena area. The result is a human-scale solution to a large-scale problem: people helping people; and health professionals sharing their time, skills and resources with children whose families would otherwise be unable to access that care.
