Why give? Because achievement legacies deserve documentation and celebration. Because community scholarships change educational trajectories. Because our history must be preserved for future generations. Because essay contests amplify young voices, historical tours create meaningful connections, and legacy preservation protects cultural identity.

Your gift supports heritage and opportunity—and with the match, it means twice the scholarships, twice the historical documentation, twice the community engagement, more student participation, and stronger preservation of our shared cultural narrative.

Seeking $5K in matched funding to expand the LDAA network and footprint via essay contests, provide community scholarships, enhance LDAA outreach activity through tours and legacy documentation, and expand the LDAA membership database.

Your contribution ensures our history is preserved, celebrated, and passed to the next generation while creating educational opportunities for promising students in our community.
