Maryvale honored Jacquie Dolan, Pasadena resident and longtime member of Maryvale Los Angeles Orphanage Guild, with the fourth annual Restoring Hope Golf Classic recently.
Dolan was recognized for her long-term commitment to Maryvale’s children and her advocacy work for foster children spanning more than four decades. The tournament was held at Angeles National Golf Club.
Dolan joined Maryvale’s Los Angeles Orphanage Guild in 1968, where she and her fellow members have been responsible for raising money to provide opportunities for children that have helped them heal and move beyond the trauma that defined their young lives.
“Jacquie has a heart of gold. She is the ultimate benefactor,” said Carole Tremblay, vice president of Maryvale development and communications. “Not only has she helped raise funds so we can continue our programs, but she has also assumed a leadership role on our board and works directly with the children offering love, encouragement, and mentorship.”
Founded in 1856 by the Daughters of Charity, Maryvale is the oldest children’s charity in Los Angeles County and the first orphanage in the region. Maryvale now cares for traumatized youth in the foster care system, with an intensive residential treatment program for severely abused girls, ages 13 to 18; a nurturing emergency placement center for boys and girls, ages 6 to 12; a family resource center for vulnerable children and families; and two early education centers.
