• South Houston High seeks local business support for budgeting simulation event. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena businesses are being asked to volunteer at South Houston High School's Reality Fair on October 15, 2026, helping students practice real‑world budgeting. You can choose a station via an online sign‑up and even sponsor lunch for 30–40 volunteers and partners. The morning event runs 7:45 a.m. to noon, and organizers welcome you to share the invite widely.
• How can you skip goofball Maverick, ready to be your running buddy, but he needs a stay of execution first. (pasadenian.com) — Maverick, a nine‑month‑old Staffordshire mix at Pasadena Animal Shelter, is on the urgent list and needs an adopter or foster right away. Neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm‑negative, he's free to adopt or foster, with supplies provided for fosters. If you're in Pasadena and want an energetic walking or running buddy, you can apply online or visit the Burke Road shelter today.
• The Strawberry Festival invests in the future by purchasing steer at Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena's own Strawberry Festival is putting money back into local youth by buying a steer at the Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo auction. Organizers say it's a way to reward students' long hours caring for their animals and to celebrate families and volunteers. The post underscores how Pasadena traditions work together to support the next generation.
