60th Anniversary Gala - THANK YOU!
Nearly 300 attendees helped celebrate the Roger Lehecka Double Discovery Center's 60th Anniversary Gala on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
This event was an opportunity to celebrate six decades of college access success and recognize three DDC champions with the James P. Shenton Award for Excellence, an award for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to improving the education of college-bound, first-generation students.
We thank all of our students, parents, staff, alumni, board, sponsors, donors, and friends for making a magical and memorable night.
Let all of us go forth and make equity and opportunity multiply.
