Pasadena Lions Club to Host Breakfast With 2025 Tournament of Roses’ Rose Court

The Pasadena Host Lions Club announced it is hosting a special breakfast event featuring the 2025 Rose Court of the Tournament of Roses on Saturday, Nov. 16, offering unique chance to meet the newly selected ambassadors.

Set to take place at the University Club of Pasadena, located at 175 N. Oakland Ave., from 8 to 10:30 a.m., the Club promises an intimate setting for guests to hear directly from the Rose Court members.

“We hope you will choose to take part in this rare opportunity to hear these phenomenal young women share a bit of their life’s journey, in their own words, with all of us,” the Lions Club said in the announcement.

The event is open to anyone. The Lions Club says it thanks the Pasadena Tournament of Roses for allowing them to host this gathering with the Court.

In September, the Tournament of Roses announced the seven members of the 2025 Rose Parade Rose Court: Lisette Parker, Maranatha High School; Saniyah Brunston, John Muir High School; Lara Georgian, Mayfield Senior School; Natalia Pradhan, Flintridge Preparatory School; Simone Ball, Arcadia High School; Lindsay Charles, Westridge School; and Kate Kelly, La Cañada High School.

From among the seven, the Rose Queen will be selected and announced on Oct. 29.

The 2025 Rose Court members, chosen for their character, service, and leadership qualities, will serve as representatives of the Tournament of Roses, the city of Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area. These young women will have a prominent role in the upcoming New Year’s celebrations, participating in two major events on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. They will ride on a float in the 136th Rose Parade presented by Honda and attend the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the 111th Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential.

The breakfast event, at $60 per person, requires advance registration and payment by Nov. 9 to secure attendance. Reservations can be made through Lions Club representatives Kirit Davé, at (626) 826-9202 or kirit@kmsaccounting.com, and Donna at (626) 233-2991 or pasadenahostlionsclub@gmail.com.
