Presented by UFC in partnership with the USC School of Social Work, nearly 650 foster youth, caregivers, service providers, college representatives, volunteers and staff attended the 12th annual college preparatory event, held at USC on Saturday, September 24.

Over 500 guests enjoyed an elegant evening under the stars at Colleen and Bradley Bell's historic Bel Air home and sampled L.A.'s finest tastes from the region's favorite restaurants, vintners, breweries, and artisanal food producers. The VIP reception featured special reserve wines from Robert Mondavi Reserve, Chateau Montelena and Capture Winery, complimented by food pairings from Brendan Collins of Waterloo & City.

Hosted by Mario Lopez, a record number of 180 foster youth participated in the graduation celebration at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Presented by UFC in partnership with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles County Departments of Children and Family Services and Probation and the Teague Family Foundation, this event celebrates the academic achievements of foster youth in Los Angeles graduating from high school and continuing on to college.  UFC presented over $600,000 in college sponsorships so foster youth can receive the financial support and guidance they need to attend and graduate from 4-year colleges.

Paired with a surprise announcement of a $500,000 major gift from Wallis Annenberg, a grand total of over $2 million was raised to allow UFC to continue its life changing work. It was a special night as we presented Phil Kent, Chairman and CEO of Turner Broadcasting, with the Brass Ring Award and Wallis Annenberg, Chairman and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation, with the Nancy M. Daly Founder's Award.

Pathways youth, staff and volunteers joined forces with REI and the LA Conservation Corps to help clean up Kenneth Hahn Park for this year’s Big Sunday community service day on May 15. The group had a great time together enjoying some fresh air as they cleared up invasive grass and planted rescued oaks.

Brass Ring honoree Phil Kent headed out to UFC's Pathways Transitional Housing site in Whittier to learn about the program and tour the facility.  In April, Mr. Kent and Bruce Rosenblum, President of Warner Bros. Television Group, met with UFC President Polly Williams, Board Chair Wendy Meyer, Housing Director Roshe Malakuti and some of the Pathways program youth.  He learned about the challenges they have faced and how Pathways has helped them overcome many obstacles in their lives.
