Crayon Collection participated in Palisades Americanism Parade Association’s Fourth of July event at Paul Revere Charter Middle School, hosting a booth with arts and crafts.
“We loved spending the evening with Councilmember Traci Park’s team as well as students from Pali High,” read information shared by the organization. “The Fourth of July is a major tradition for our beautiful community, and although this year looked different than years past, the same joy and community was present. We were so glad to connect with everyone and to all the kiddos who dropped by and colored jumbo coloring sheets, which were all about resilience and hope for Pacific Palisades.”
As part of a pre-college entrepreneurship program at USC, 16-year-old Palisadian James Reinstein met with Rick Caruso to “learn firsthand how companies are built.”
“After seeing Caruso’s leadership in rebuilding parts of the Palisades and his reputation for creating spaces that prioritize community over commerce, James decided to approach him in person,” read information shared about the meeting. “To his surprise, Caruso readily agreed to an interview. Their discussion quickly moved beyond balance sheets and business plans. Caruso emphasized that his success was never solely about constructing profitable shopping centers, but about designing environments where people feel connected.”
