The San Gabriel Valley Bruins is UCLA's regional alumni network for the San Gabriel Valley area. 💙💛

The UCLA Rose Bowl Bruins regional alumni group was formed in 1982 when UCLA football moved to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. This move provided a great opportunity to create a new alumni support group in the area. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to supporting the greater interests of the University and building Bruin community to help local alumni stay connected. Members of the UCLA Rose Bowl Bruins actively participate in community service projects, scholarship activities, and cultural, athletic, networking and family-friendly events that support UCLA and local alumni interests. The Rose Bowl Bruins board of directors are volunteers who plan cultural, educational, scholarship, networking and social events throughout the year. Bruins living and working in Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley, areas of Northeast Los Angeles and the surrounding neighborhoods are invited to get involved. Our network membership is drawn from the communities of Bradbury, Monrovia, Duarte, El Monte, Rosemead, Temple City, San Marino, San Gabriel, Alhambra, South Pasadena, Pasadena, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, Altadena, Sunland, Montrose, La Crescenta, La Canada-Flintridge, Eagle Rock, Los Feliz and eastern parts of Glendale.

🏀 UCLA Alumni networks came together for a WNBA game watch for the final home game of the LA Sparks this season and a send-off for Nneka Ogwumike for her final career game. 🫶

We cheered for the Sparks but also had a soft spot for the Valkyries - coached by Natalie Nakase, former UCLA Bruins point guard and team captain.

Shout out to APA prez Angela for taking on the laboring oar and putting this event together for all of us! 💙💛
