Heart of LA also honors the contributions of singer and philanthropist Virginia “Ginny” Mancini and former Mayor of Los Angeles Richard Riordan, both longtime partners who served on the HOLA Advisory Board until their passing.

I want the world to know that every individual has the potential to do good in this world with their own unique talents. We just need to be given that chance to reach our full potential. And that is what Heart of LA (HOLA) does for the youth in our community.
