A Love Letter To Riley’s Way

 

May 29, 2024 | 6 PM | The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, New York, NY


 

We look forward to celebrating ten years of investing in and supporting the next generation of kind leaders on Wednesday, May 29th at 6pm! At A Love Letter to Riley’s Way, you will meet and be inspired by Riley’s Way’s young changemakers. There will be delicious food, drinks, a DJ, a fabulous silent auction and plenty of fun.

EVENT DETAILS: The event will be on Wednesday, May 29th, from 6:00-10:00 pm at The Lighthouse Pier 61, Chelsea Piers (directions below).*

The Vibe: A Love Letter to Riley’s Way has more of an “anti-gala” festive vibe, and we will not have formal seating.  

Dress Code: There is no dress code! Some will wear cocktail attire, some business casual, and some may wear a splash of purple (optional) for Riley’s Way! 

Silent Auction: Support Riley’s Way through our fabulous silent auction. From May 28th at 3pm EST until May 29th at 9:30pm EST, you will be able to bid on incredible items such as 7 days with Exclusive Resorts, Tickets to an A24 film premiere, courtside tickets to the US Open, VIP tickets to “The Late Show with Steven Colbert”, Friars Head Golf and lunch with Ian Sandler, and MORE! 

Please contact Ava Mateo amateo@rileysandler.org with any questions about the event.


Thank you for supporting Riley’s Way! We could not be prouder of the community of changemakers that Riley’s Way has grown into. Over the past decade, we’ve invested in more than 3,500 young people across the country with over $4 million in grants and programming – and we’re just getting started. These young changemakers have grown into leaders in business, nonprofit, arts, education, STEM, public service, and their communities. Most importantly, they lead with kindness, empathy, compassion, and respect.
