The Anthony Rodano Legacy Foundation was created to transform remembrance into meaningful action. Inspired by Anthony's compassion, leadership, and generosity, our mission is to create opportunities that empower others and strengthen communities.
Through educational scholarships and community engagement we strive to build a legacy that continues to inspire hope and make a lasting difference for generations to come. Every program, partnership, and event reflects the values Anthony lived every day.
Born and raised in Wayne, New Jersey, Anthony Rodano lived a life defined by ambition, leadership, and genuine compassion for others. He attended Our Lady of the Valley School before graduating from DePaul Catholic High School in 2009. He went on to earn his degree from The College of New Jersey in 2013, where he held several leadership positions within Sigma Pi Fraternity, including President, Recruitment Chair, Brotherhood Chair, and Social Chair.
Anthony later earned his J.D. from Rutgers Law School in Camden before beginning his legal career with McCabe, Weisberg & Conway in Philadelphia. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, he founded Orion Cyber Capital LLC, combining his passion for innovation, finance, and emerging technologies.
While Anthony achieved much professionally, he is remembered most for the kindness he showed others, the friendships he built, and the positive impact he made on everyone around him.
Anthony had a rare gift for making people feel welcome. Whether he was leading his fraternity, organizing events, or simply spending time with friends and family, he naturally brought people together. His genuine kindness, infectious personality, and ability to connect with others created friendships that spanned every stage of his life.
As a leader within Sigma Pi at The College of New Jersey, Anthony helped build a close-knit brotherhood while fostering relationships that continue to this day. The incredible community of family, friends, classmates, fraternity brothers, and colleagues who continue to support this Foundation is a testament to the lasting impact he had on so many lives.
Today, we strive to carry that same spirit forward by creating opportunities for people to connect, give back, and strengthen their communities through scholarships, events, volunteerism, and meaningful acts of service.
A meaningful legacy is measured by the lives it continues to change. Every scholarship awarded, every community partnership formed, every volunteer initiative launched helps transform Anthony's legacy into lasting impact.
As the Foundation grows, we remain committed to expanding opportunities that empower students, strengthen communities, and encourage people to support one another. Together with our supporters, we are building something that will continue to make a difference for generations to come.
The Anthony Rodano Legacy Foundation exists because of people who believe in making a difference. Every donor, volunteer, sponsor, and community partner plays an important role in carrying Anthony's legacy forward.
Whether you choose to support a scholarship, attend one of our events, volunteer your time, or make a charitable contribution, your generosity helps create opportunities that inspire hope, strengthen communities, and positively impact the lives of others.
Together, we can ensure Anthony's legacy continues to bring people together and create meaningful change for years to come.
