The greater Pasadena community joined Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) for an uplifting celebration on Thursday, November 14 — the 25th annual Local Heroes Luncheon, a celebration of PCF’s $2.5 million in grant awards to 100 local nonprofits this year. In attendance at the University Club were more than 200 nonprofit leaders, community partners, civic and education officials, and PCF’s generous donors.
