The Child Educational Center held its 35th annual benefit and auction at the Pasadena Masonic Temple on May 4. It was a night filled with fine food, cocktails, dancing and fundraising for the center.
In celebration of “May the Fourth be with you”, this year’s theme was “Elegant Star Wars” and featured two of the “Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club” for photo opportunities. The Masonic Temple provided a wonderful ballroom setting that allowed for a lively paddle raise and live auction event.
The event successfully raises money for the CEC’s Tuition Assistance Fund, ensuring that families from all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds may attend the center’s early childhood and school-age programs.
CEC’s programs have served as a leader in early childhood education since 1979, emphasizing a commitment to nurturing children’s physical and psychological well-being.
The Child Educational Center is an innovative, nationally accredited early care and education organization with a pioneering focus on progressive education and outdoor learning.
