The University Club
175 N Oakland Ave | Pasadena

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the 2026 Rooted & Rising Spring Auction and Party—a night of celebration, connection, and fun. Enjoy dinner, dancing, and time together as a community as we gather for this much-anticipated adults-only event.

 

This year’s theme, Rooted & Rising, is not your mom’s garden party! Inspired by growth and renewal, the evening will celebrate how far we’ve come and look ahead to what we are building together. So book your sitters and get ready for a lively night of auction excitement, great food, and dancing.
