Fire relief… in the words of @parishilton , that’s hot. 😎
After the January wildfires devastated our local community, in collaboration with the PCC foundation, @pasadenawbc Director Lizzy Okoro Davidson (pictured above), answered the call, quite literally, for PCC to partner with @gofundme and Paris Hilton’s nonprofit organization @11.11media to provide grants to local women-owned businesses so they can rebuild and thrive.
Last night, we were thrilled to honor 50 incredible women-owned businesses with over $1 million in grants.
We are beyond #PCCProud to celebrate and support these inspiring leaders as they restore what was lost and build for the future.
