Sip & Celebrate

For the first time since April 2019, Fulfillment Fund held its annual fundraising event, Sip & Celebrate, in person on Thursday, May 5, 2022. Our community of donors, supporters, alumni, and scholars came together for a celebration at SoFi Stadium. Michaela Pereira, anchor of Good Day L.A. on KTTV Fox 11, hosted the event that included honoring the Gitnick Family for their decades-long commitment to Fulfillment Fund and the inaugural presentation of the Kenny Washington Memorial Scholarship by the Los Angeles Rams to 13 students.

We had a full house with over 300 attendees. We raised more than $650,000 to support our life-changing programs thanks to 217 generous donors and our Dean’s List Sponsors Aurora Capital Partners, Cherna Gitnick and Family, and Latham & Watkins LLP.

The event made headlines in our local news on FOX 11 (KTLA) and CBS (KCAL) and was also featured on YahooNews and the Beverly Press, among others. At the home of our Super Bowl Champions, we enjoyed special appearances by the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Rampage, and Rams Cheerleaders.

We are so grateful to have such an incredible community that continues to show up when we call on them to support our students and mission. Thanks to their commitment and passion for education equity, we can continue serving students in Los Angeles and supporting them on their path to a brighter future.
