Circle of Friends hosted its annual meeting recently, welcoming 34 new members and recognizing its 2017-18 fundraising efforts. During the brunch event, Jennifer Kennedy, outgoing president, presented a $260,000 check to Kidspace Children’s Museum’s CEO Michael Shanklin. Now in its 27th year, Circle of Friends, which comprises nearly 100 women from Pasadena and surrounding areas, has donated more than $4 million to Kidspace since its inception. The funds donated go to Kidspace’s operating budget and “Kidspace for All” program, which served 80,000 members of the community last year.
