The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Foundation provides funds to support local non-profit service organizations. This year, Pasadena Chamber of Commerce members The Mothers’ Club Family Learning Center and El Centro de Accion Social were recognized with grants along with the Caltech Y and Door of Hope.

El Centro will use funds to support its Summer School in the Park program. Mothers’ Club will use funds for its Leadership Training program.

The Caltech Y will fund the RISE Tutoring program and Door of Hope will use the Tournament Foundation grant for leadership training for staff and volunteers.

Established in 1983, the Tournament of Roses Foundation is a non-profit corporation that manages charitable contribution on behalf of the Tournament of Roses. Funds are used to improve the quality of life for people in the greater Pasadena area.
