Pathways LA Hosts 'Seeds of Hope' Fundraiser

On April 19, 2025, a remarkable evening awaits at the iconic Grammy Museum in Downtown Los Angeles. Pathways LA proudly presents the Seeds of Hope: Building Brighter Futures Fundraiser, aimed at celebrating achievements in early childhood education and uplifting families in need.

This year's event promises to be both inspiring and celebratory, as it will honor Denyne Micheletti, CEO of Thriving Families, alongside Blue Shield CA Promise Health Plan. Both will receive the prestigious Bea Gold Award for their unwavering dedication to enhancing the lives of families and the communities they serve.

The evening will be emceed by beloved KTLA anchor Wendy Burch, with KTLA acting as the in-kind media sponsor for this year’s event. Guests will enjoy a culinary experience from world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck, ensuring everyone is treated to a gourmet dinner featuring stunning rooftop views, live music, and various interactive experiences focused on the importance of early childhood education.

A highlight of the night will be the awards presentation, which will recognize the outstanding contributions made by individuals and organizations in the field. In addition, a live auction will take place, providing guests an opportunity to bid on exceptional items while contributing to a worthy cause. Guests will also have the chance to explore the gripping exhibits of the Grammy Museum, merging the worlds of music, culture, and education.
