South Pasadena Educational Foundation (SPEF) is proud to announce the return of their annual fundraising gala, Parti Gras.
The theme for 2024 is “Bootleggers’ Ball”, a prohibition style speakeasy taking place Saturday, May 18, 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Arroyo Seco Golf Course.
Each year since 1985, SPEF has hosted the event to raise funds and celebrate our local public schools. From live and silent auctions, delicious fare from incredible local restaurants, drinks, and dancing, an amazing time is had by all in the name of supporting public education in South Pasadena.
There is still time to join us as a sponsor or donate an auction item.
Please visit our event page for details. (click here)
