PCC Celebrates Student Success

Embracing Legacy and Envisioning our Future

June 21, 2025

This year Pasadena City College is celebrating its 100th anniversary – a cherished milestone – that sets the stage for bright pathways of continued success for our students and our beloved institution.

As part of the festivities the Pasadena City College Foundation will be hosting a fundraising Gala, on June 21, 2025, that celebrates our legacy, gives thanks for our loyal supporters, and raises funds for our most important treasure – our students.

The iconic Langham Hotel will be the site of this once in a lifetime event that will begin with a festive cocktail reception followed by dinner, dancing , performances by students, alumni, and special friends.

We will also honor some of our “PCC family” who exemplify creativity, leadership and integrity:

Nancy C. Lan, PhD and John Hall, PhD
Betye Saar
L.R. “Lonnie “and Lorraine Schield Jr.
Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
The Honorable Jack A. Scott, Ph.D

PCC Celebrates Student Success at 100 sponsors will provide scholarship assistance for PCC students in need. As a PCC 100 sponsor, you may establish a named fund through the PCC Foundation or add to your already existing fund to commemorate this momentous occasion!
