Honoring Ryan Gordy’s Life

THE GORDY FAMILY LAUNCHES THE RYAN GORDY FOUNDATION WITH WELLNESS CELEBRATION

Los Angeles, CA (October 30, 2017) – Anita Thompson honored her son Ryan Kennedy Gordy on Saturday, October 28, 2017 with the launch of the Ryan Gordy Foundation and its inaugural Wellness Celebration sponsored by BMW of Beverly Hills. Ryan, the son of Anita and Kennedy “Rockwell” Gordy and the grandson of Motown founder, Berry Gordy passed away last year from leukemia.

The Wellness Celebration was created as a celebration of Ryan Gordy's life, and to thank everyone honored and privileged to know Ryan for their support. It was an opportunity for his legacy to live on through his passions for health, spirituality, mindfulness and entertainment. The invitation only event aimed to bring attention to wellness and empowered attendees to make healthy choices that will help them achieve their best life. It benefits the Foundation to raise funds for health and wellness awareness. [Quote from Anita]

The invitation-only event was hosted by Ryan’s brother Skylar “Sky Blu” Gordy, one half of the musical duo LMFAO. It was filled with lots of love and laughter from people who knew and loved Ryan. For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing him, they left forever connected to him. The special guest of the evening was Ryan’s guru, world-renowned yogi, mystic & visionary, Sadhguru (sad-guru), who spent a very intimate hour with guests talking about wellbeing, life and death. Notable guest included Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Abraham McDonald and Stevie Wonder, who both took the stage for a musical tribute to Ryan. A special message was sent by Common, introducing his song “Stand Up For Something,” performed by Victoria Summer. Guests feasted on a vegan meal prepared by celebrity chef Kai Chase.

Prior to the event, guests were asked to join a 30-Day Hiking Challenge to empower their lifestyle and raise funds for the Ryan Gordy Foundation. Led by former Professional Basketball Player and Coach, Daniel Ferguson, guests hiked Runyun Canyon in Los Angeles to raise funds for the Foundation as well as be challenged and motivated by this personal trainer and Kinesiology specialist to reach their best potential.
