Diversity, Equity + Inclusion Awards 2022 Honoree: Los Angeles Rams

 

Los Angeles Rams
Chief Executive: Kevin Demoff
Year Founded: 1936
Location: Agoura Hills

Social justice is at the heart of the Los Angeles Rams community outreach efforts. To the Rams, it’s about fighting for equality, driving equity and providing access. The team has placed an emphasis on becoming collaborative partners in the education space with the goal of helping to close the achievement gap for low-income students. By working to transform children’s lives to make them college and/or career-ready, the Rams are helping to enhance their personal well-being, the lives of their families and the betterment of society. In 2018, the team introduced “RISE with the Rams,” a season-long leadership and community building program featuring Morningside High School in Inglewood and Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village. The program was designed to harness the unifying power of sports and build relationships between two Los Angeles area high school football teams with a cross-section of races and socioeconomic backgrounds.
