An Evening with Purpose
Honor the Legacy
Remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who shaped history, and the responsibility we share to carry their stories forward.
Connect with the Mission
Discover how DLA brings history to life in Normandy, helping students explore their character, recognize their potential, and understand what leadership asks of them.
Open an Opportunity
Help make this experience possible for students who could not otherwise participate. Your generosity supports scholarships that include travel, instruction, mentorship, and chaperone supervision.
Help One Student Take the Next Step
THE ONE KID CAMPAIGN
A gift of $5,500 funds one student’s complete DLA Leadership Scholarship to Normandy, including round trip travel, lodging, meals, ground transportation, instruction, and chaperone supervision.
​
Students encounter the stories of D-Day where they happened, then consider what courage, service, and responsibility ask of them today.
​
Our 2027 Campaign Goal
24 students. $132,000. One student at a time.
​
Fund a full scholarship, join others to share the cost, or contribute any amount toward the next student’s opportunity.
Whether or not you can attend the gala, you can help open this door.
