About Our Founder
Alycia Brown is a dedicated entrepreneur, community leader, and passionate advocate for creating meaningful experiences for children. As the owner of Pasadena Party Patrol and the visionary behind Crown Me, Alycia has spent over 20 years designing engaging programs that inspire confidence, creativity, and connection in young people.
Her journey in youth programming began in 2004 when she founded Chandler School’s first-ever summer day camp, setting the foundation for what would become a lifelong mission—bringing high-quality, enriching experiences to families. Since then, she has continued to innovate in the world of event planning and child-focused activities, curating spaces where kids can grow, thrive, and have fun.
"My biggest takeaway from Crown Me Summer was seeing our group gain confidence, creativity, and connection with each other. I started Crown Me because I wanted to create a space where children could feel empowered, celebrated, and have a blast in a family group environment"

Immersion into racial identity has brought to life all the conversations we've been having for years. My son's embodied experience of this is beyond valuable and a gift that continues to grow.
