Celebrate a Legacy of Leadership
Join us this spring for the 28th Annual Heart and Excellence Legacy Luncheon as we honor the remarkable women and leaders who have shaped our community, with a special tribute to the past board members who have guided YWCA Glendale and Pasadena for nearly a century.
Connect with 250 local leaders, philanthropists, and changemakers while supporting YWCA's mission to eliminate racism and empower women. Your sponsorship helps fund essential programs including domestic violence support, youth empowerment, and racial justice initiatives.
We are thrilled to welcome Natalie Samarjian, President and CEO of Coro Southern California, as our keynote speaker. A champion of ethical leadership and democracy, Natalie has expanded Coro's impact while fostering a powerful network of changemakers. With a background in law and public policy, she has advocated for women and girls at the California Women's Law Center and supported domestic violence survivors at Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County. A UCLA Law graduate and Coro Fellow, Natalie's leadership embodies the empowerment and equity at the core of YWCA's mission.
