Riordan and Now
Join us for the 35th Anniversary Gala
Los Angeles is known for so many things – Tinseltown, fashion, the coastal lifestyle – but it’s the rich cultures of our diverse communities that have made the fabric of this city so beautiful and strong. For 35 years, inspired young people who hail from our communities have been shown a path to college, graduate school and to success in life, thanks to the Riordan Programs.
Please join us on May 13 as we look from then – to now – in celebration of this pivotal, life-changing program!

For 35 years, the Riordan Programs have focused on developing tomorrow’s leaders with unparalleled resources for first-generation college students. On May 13, 2022, the Riordan community will celebrate the accomplishments of our program and its graduates at our annual fundraiser gala, featuring inspiring talks from Riordan alumni and an awards presentation for our alumni, board members and advocates.
The Riordan Programs empower our most promising young adults to realize their potential and transform their lives through our Scholars, College to Career and MBA Fellows programs. We offer students unique opportunities through educational workshops and transformative experiences and excel at engaging diverse individuals from underrepresented areas to thrive in business and leadership.
All proceeds benefit the Riordan Scholars Program, scholarships and fellowships.
