Why Does an Event Like This Matter?

2025 has been heavy, we know. From Pasadena to Altadena to the Palisades, our communities have carried the burden. If you're feeling depleted, isolated, or like the weight is yours to bear alone, you're not unseen.

Because we need each other right now. This is us choosing connection over isolation, joy over despair, community over going it alone. Because when we gather to create, to listen, to dance, to simply be together—that's when the real magic happens. That's when we remember we're not just surviving, we're thriving together.

Let's create something beautiful together.
