On May 14, South Pasadena resumes the yearly, all-outdoor gala with a new theme of “Through the Looking Glass.” South Pasadena’s biggest party of the year, Parti Gras draws more than 900 adults for silent and live auctions, food and drinks from local restaurants, music, dancing, and more.

Contributing to our event is a wonderful way to make your business known to the population of South Pasadena. With a median yearly household income of over $100,000, South Pasadena residents are devoted customers, not only in South Pasadena, but in neighboring areas such as Pasadena and Highland Park. As a donor, your contribution is tax deductible and you’ll receive recognition at the event and in promotional materials. All proceeds raised at Parti Gras directly benefit South Pasadena schools and our children.

Your past generosity helped make this event a huge success!

Because of your support, each year SPEF donates over $700,000 to our schools and also provides a full slate of programs such as: summer school for 2,000+ students; after school enrichment classes for 300+ families; summer camps for 800+ students; fifth grade musical for 90 students; $50,000 in grants to individual teachers for innovative projects

Please continue to make an impact in education donating an item for Parti Gras’ silent and live auctions and raffles. Exclusive services and products, gift cards, event tickets, vacation, and hotel visits help to raise substantial funds.

Your support is always recognized and appreciated by our guests and your donation does make a difference. Please submit the enclosed auction donation form along with your donation. Feel free to contact any of us with questions you might have at the email addresses below, or Melinda Vargas at the SPEF office at mvargas@spef4kids.org or 626.441.5810 x1163.

With sincere thanks,
