Celebrating Early Education with Pathways LA's Seeds of Hope Fundraiser

On April 19, 2025, the renowned Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles will transform into a vibrant hub for a noble cause: the Seeds of Hope Building Brighter Futures Fundraiser. Organized by Pathways LA, this year’s event promises an evening filled with inspiration, elegance, and a collective commitment to enhancing early education.

Honoring Distinguished Leaders

The event will highlight the invaluable contributions of Denyne Micheletti, Executive Director of Thriving Families, and the Blue Shield CA Promise Health Plan. Both will receive the prestigious Bea Gold Award for their unwavering dedication to uplifting families and communities through education and access to vital resources.

A Night to Remember

Under the expert guidance of KTLA's Wendy Burch, who will serve as the event's host, guests can anticipate a gourmet dinner curated by world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. The evening will offer breathtaking rooftop views, live music, and interactive experiences showcasing the profound impacts of early childhood education. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live auction and enjoy guided tours of the Grammy Museum's iconic exhibits, bridging the worlds of music, culture, and education.

Significant Achievements to Celebrate

In addition to the festivities, Pathways LA will take this opportunity to share the remarkable milestones reached over the past year, including:

• - Serving over 75,000 families and child care providers with essential resources and referrals.
