This year’s cohort included 21 students representing 11 local high schools: Mayfield Senior School, Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, Sacred Heart High School, Immaculate Heart, St. Francis High School, Harvard-Westlake, South Pasadena High School, Sequoyah School, Eagle Rock High School, Polytechnic School, and Westridge School. 

Throughout the year, students brought the mission of Ronald McDonald House Pasadena into their local communities by leading fundraisers and collection drives to support families with critically ill children. Thanks to their commitment, the inaugural cohort raised more than $900 and collected over 350+ essential items directly benefiting the families staying at the House. 

The program concluded with a celebration alongside students, parents, teachers, and supporters. We are grateful for the heart and leadership these students brought to the House and look forward to seeing their continued impact in the years ahead.
