After a virtual event this past January, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses is planning a more traditionalon January 1, 2022. As part of the run-up, organizers offered the first in a series of sneak previews of floral float entries that will roll through Pasadena on New Year’s Day.
The preview renderings are from float participants Donate Life, Lions Club International and Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee, and seek to reflect the theme of “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” The three organizations are longtime Rose Parade participants, collectively totaling 85 entries since 1980. The centerpiece of the 2022 Donate Life float, “Courage to Hope,” is the winged Lion of Venice — well known to Venice Film Festival attendees. The statue sits in the Piazza San Marco, set amidst the Venetian Gothic architecture of the Doge’s Palace and Venice’s quintessential gondolas and canals. The Lion is meant to symbolize courage and hope shared by donor families who have created a legacy through their decision to donate.
For nearly 30 years, the entries developed by Lions Float, Inc. have sought to relay how the largest service organization in the world helps others through humanitarian services. Those include educational initiatives like the Lions Quest program that helps students develop their social and emotional skills. Aboard the float are two Lions alongside three ships filled with children, teachers and mentors who are on a “Quest for Kindness.
