The setting sun cast a beautiful glow on the iconic Santa Anita Race Track that provided the backdrop for Foothill Unity Center’s Golden Plate Awards Gala on Sept. 22.
The sold-out fundraising gala’s goal was to “help make us make the future a little brighter for our neighbors in need.” The event included an online live and silent auction to help meet the fundraising goal of $200,000.
During the evening, Foothill Unity Center honored Rao and Indira Yalamanchili with the Heart in Hand Humanitarian Award, David Steinmeier with the Carl E. Foote Legacy Award, Donna Baker with the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Business Award, and the Kiwanis Club of Pasadena High School with the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Youth Service Award, all in recognition and appreciation of their contributions to the community and Foothill Unity Center.
