Foothill Family was founded in 1926 in Pasadena, California by key community volunteer, Mrs. Josephine Marsh, who “passed the hat” to assist neighbors in need. She became the first director of the agency. To honor this humble origin, we continue Mrs. Marsh’s legacy by “passing the hat” to raise important funds for our client services through a friendly competition between teams. We also continue the tradition of honoring our most gracious community leaders by “tipping our caps” and thanking them for their service to Foothill Family.

This year, we are thrilled to "Tip our Caps" to our Community Leader Mike Buchanan, as he is making a difference for Foothill Family, our clients and our community.

RSVP directly to your Team Captain to attend the in-person luncheon on October 25th!  Enjoy a fun-filled program including lunch, testimonials and highlights from the past year. 

You may give at any time before the event to help your Team get a head start on the BIG WIN!!

The event concludes on October 25th when we "pass the hat" to raise funds for Foothill Family's vital services to continue the ongoing friendly competition between teams.
