Rose Magazine and the Pasadena Star-News honored local women of distinction last week in our first-ever “Jewels of Pasadena” gala event at the Pasadena Hilton.
Finalists and winners were a real cross-section of life in the Crown City. There were many categories of awards — ranging from arts and culture to health care and education.
At right is the full list of winners.

This was a wonderful event in every way. Thank you Pasadena Star-News and Rose Magazine for another innovative way to honor women.
The diversity of women honored at this event was extremely nice and well done. GOOD JOB!!
As Chair of the Pasadena Commission on the Status of Women, I applaud the Pasadena Star-News and the Rose Magazine for choosing to honor women. This awesome event displayed the make-up of a Woman (i.e., Teacher, Artist, Volunteer, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, Mother, Health Provider, Athlete, Young Woman). Wow! Jewels of Pasadena – Women of Distinction – another validation of the value of a women!
