RS❤️LA

Just miles from where our event will be held, the Pasadena Waldorf School—a longtime pillar of the community—was completely destroyed.

While insurance will cover some of the costs, there’s still a multi-million dollar gap to fully rebuild. The need is significant, and we’re rallying the RetailSpaces community to help bridge it.

If you’d like to join us in making a difference, you can donate here.

Let’s show Pasadena what the RS community is all about ❤️

Watch below for a personal message from singer Aloe Blacc, who’s kids went to the school:
