Upcoming Events
To honor our brother Dan and his dedication to faith and education, we have established the Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Scholarship Fund at Vianney High School. The scholarship will be given to a student with financial need and who represents the qualities of faith, honor, and service. "Lt. Dan" was a man who loved his family, his God, and his country. His faith gave him the strength necessary for battle; this faith was cultivated and strengthened by the faculty and staff of Vianney High School. The following three annual events have been established to raise money for the scholarship fund and to remember our fallen hero.

Last year, trivia night was an incredibly successful event. With 700 people in attendance, we raised over $29,000 for the scholarship fund. Without the help of supporters like you, this event would not have been possible. On behalf our family, we would like to thank you for your generosity. Your kindness will help us provide tuition assistance to young Vianney men that display the same qualities that Dan exhibited: Faith, Honor, and Service. We hope you can be a part of this event in 2008.
Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Memorial Golf Tournament
The first Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Memorial Golf Tournament was an incredibly successful event, raising over $10,500. Our sponsors and participants enabled us to host a rewarding tournament that exceeded our financial goals. We had 136 golfers, perfect weather, and an enjoyable barbecue dinner and awards ceremony in which all winnings were donated back to the scholarship fund. The tournament will help us provide tuition assistance to young Vianney men that display the same qualities that Dan exhibited: Faith, Honor, and Service.
This memorial golf tournament will become an annual event to raise funds for the scholarship fund established in Dan's name at Vianney. Information about the 2009 Tournament will be posted when it becomes available. Current plans are to have the second annual tournament around Memorial Day Weekend in 2009.

In an effort to raise money to benefit the Lt. Daniel Riordan Scholarship Fund at Vianney High School, the Old Hippies Association (OHA) is donating the proceeds from their annual "Trout Bust" at Montauk State Park.
Army 1st Lt. Dan Riordan, an avid outdoorsman, was killed in June while serving in Iraq. As a boy scout Riordan enjoyed fishing, hiking, campfires and sleeping under the stars.
"While he (Dan) can't be here for this time honored tradition, we know he will be with us in spirit," said Jim Wallace, OHA president.
