About Tip Your Cap & Pass the Hat 2025

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, and this year we are "tipping out cap" to Marisa and Ezra Callahan for their powerful advocacy, meaningful impact, and enduring philanthropic leadership to building a stronger, healthier community. The Callahan Family has cultivated a legacy of service that spans generations and now includes their children, who are being raised with the same values of compassion and civic engagement.
