he Friends of the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena will host their 7th annual fundraising gala on Sunday, November 7th. This glamorous event entitled The Golden Age of Hollywood is suitably taking place at the elegant 1920’s Masonic Temple in Pasadena and will honor the citywide contributions of Dr. Floraline Stevens and the Mijares Family.
This captivating evening will begin at 5:30pm and features a delicious sit down dinner, silent... auction, live auction, and entertainment by 2010 Levitt season favorites, Magnolia Memoir (labeled “sweet, sexy, nuanced, evocative, and deeply moving” by the Huffington Post). The historic Pasadena Masonic Tempe is located on 200 South Euclid Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101. Individual tickets and sponsorships start at $200.00.
“The Golden Age of Hollywood was a magical era that represented glamour, passion, great entertainment, and an escape from the struggles of daily life.” Jill Pearson, gala chair notes, “At the same time that the Golden Age of Hollywood was commencing a golden bandshell was built with much the same intention in Pasadena’s beloved Memorial Park…”
This golden bandshell became known as the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts when the Mortimer Levitt Foundation restored it to its full grandeur 8 years ago. The inspiration behind this monumental reconstruction was the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena — a non-profit organization that entertains over 55,000 residents of Pasadena and the greater LA area every summer with free, quality, live music under the stars. Today, the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena has presented over 400 concerts uniquely created to appeal to audiences of all ages, backgrounds and tastes. Their free summer series features a roster of Grammy award-winners, international stars, local favorites, and touring artists representing a kaleidoscope of music genres, countries, and cultures.
By attending The Golden Age of Hollywood, guests will have an exclusive opportunity to support the Levitt’s free summer concert series by participating in live and silent auctions featuring one of a kind items and priceless experiences. Pearson explains, “In order for us to continue bringing the gift of music to the Pasadena community without charging admission we must raise funds. Our annual gala is one of the most significant ways, we bring in revenue to support our popular series.”
