On the warm, almost-summer evening of June 12, Sycamores hosted a special Leadership Circle Reception at the iconic Gamble House in Pasadena. It was an intimate and meaningful gathering, bringing together a dedicated group of supporters whose generosity helps drive real change in the lives of the children, youth, young adults, and families we serve.

Guests had the opportunity to tour the beautifully preserved Craftsman-era home before heading out to the garden to enjoy curated small bites and wine tasting under the early evening sky. The setting offered a perfect backdrop for heartfelt conversations, shared purpose, and connection.
Sycamores President and CEO Debra Manners, along with Chair of the Board Sonia A. Solin, offered brief remarks—thanking the group for their unwavering support and commitment to Sycamores’ mission. Their words underscored what the evening was truly about: appreciation, partnership, and helping the children, adults and families we serve create a better life.
We are so grateful to each of our Leadership Circle members for your generosity and dedication. You are helping create brighter futures and stronger communities.
