Over $2 million dollars was contributed from Riot – the Los Angeles-based developer and publisher known for genre-defining games including League of Legends and Valorant. The cash donation enabled the completion of the “first-of-its-kind” technology and esports center at SoLa’s Beehive campus. 

The center aims to inspire and develop the next generation of game developers, esports athletes, technology professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs. All free of charge to South LA residents. Riot and SoLa are planning to work together to secure new pathways to explore economic and educational opportunities.
