The Rotary Club and Foundation of South Pasadena have launched an online fundraiser to support local restaurants in South Pasadena who are affected by mandated safety measures due to COVID-19.
“We started this fundraiser to thank our local businesses for their continuous support in the community,” fundraiser organizer, Past President (2013-2014) and 15-year Rotarian Marchelle Sellers said. “We want to foster a community spirit by encouraging people to involve their friends, family, and neighbors to support these restaurants. They are always there for our little league, school events and community fundraisers like our Taste of South Pasadena. Now is when we need to be there for them.”
The Rotary Club & Foundation of South Pasadena has contributed an initial immediate donation of $8,000 towards a larger $20,000 goal. All proceeds raised through the GoFundMe fundraiser will be used to offer monthly emergency grants to restaurants beginning April 1. All contributions are tax-deductible.
“With the help of the local and regional communities, I know we can come together to reach our goal and preserve the heart and stomach of South Pasadena,” current Rotary Club President Reda Beebe said. “Any donation goes a long way to help our neighborhood survive.”
