The 2010 Tournament of Roses Royal Court paid one of its first ambassadorial visits Tuesday to cancer patients at Glendale Adventist Medical Center.
Flanked by their queen, Natalie Innocenzi, a student at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in La Cañada Flintridge, the court made its rounds at the hospital, injecting a sense of glitz and glamour to the sterile hallways in the weeks leading up to the Rose Parade in Pasadena on Jan. 1.
The court had lunch with cancer survivors, toured rooms and told patients “they’d be waving to them” on the Rose Parade route, said Alicia Gonzalez, a hospital spokeswoman.
