Celebrating Denver Academy's Legacy Society

In late October, Denver Academy's Legacy Society gathered at Del Frisco's in Cherry Creek for an evening of friendship, reflection, and gratitude. The annual dinner celebrates members who have included DA in their estate plans, helping ensure future generations experience the same sense of belonging that makes our community so special.
Some of the evening's most memorable moments came when members shared personal stories about what DA has meant to their families. A recurring theme, accompanied by laughter, was the relief parents felt when they discovered they no longer had to do homework!
 
"We really wanted to do the best we could as parents, and when we found DA, there was a little sigh of relief all of a sudden. I'll never forget what [we were told]: 'Your days of doing homework are over. If you do homework, then I didn't do my job.'"
 
Another member echoed that sentiment, reflecting on the comfort of finding a community of families facing similar challenges.
 
"[Our child] was learning in her own way, and she really thrived. But having the other parents to relate to… I think that's what I really got from it."
 
Perhaps the most touching moment came when another speaker shared how their family's connection to DA had grown across generations.
 
"Our youngest daughter met her husband [at DA]. They got married, and in two weeks, we will welcome our first granddaughter."
 
These stories remind us that Denver Academy's impact extends far beyond the classroom. Through their planned gifts, Legacy Society members are helping ensure that future generations can find not only an education that meets their needs, but also the friendships, understanding, and sense of family that make DA such a special place.
