Riley’s Way Foundation was established by Mackenzie and Ian Sandler in 2014 to honor the life of their late nine-year-old daughter Riley Hannah Sandler. Riley was the truest friend who loved helping others.

In 2014, Riley’s Way co-founder, Ian Sandler, finished 260th out of nearly 7,000 players at the World Series of Poker. While Riley never understood what he did for work, she knew that her daddy loved playing poker and was super proud of his run that year.

That tournament inspired our Cards For Kindness Poker event, which supports our mission to invest in and support the next generation of kind leaders, providing young people with the programs, support, and inclusive community they need to thrive as changemakers.

We look forward to seeing you virtually at the Cards For Kindness event on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 7pm EST! Email Stephanie Kingston, Development Director (sdore@rileysandler.org) with questions and sponsorship opportunities.
