Adopt-a-Center
Through our Adopt-a-Center Program, Blank Rome partners with local nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles, California, to support underserved children and families. Most recently, the firm partnered with C5 Los Angeles— an organization focused on empowering high-potential teens from under-resourced communities— to host a Shark Tank-inspired Career Day. Students developed and pitched innovative business plans to a panel of judges, with guidance and mentorship from more than 50 professionals across diverse industries. The program also featured a keynote by Betty Porto, vice president and owner of Porto’ s Bakery, and provided students with hands-on exposure to real-world business concepts and career pathways.
Watch our video recap of the event to experience the energy and inspiration of the day! See how student leaders rose to the challenge, learned from mentors, and pitched their business ideas:
