From coast to coast, our Scholars, Alumni, and Staff came together in August for a weekend filled with laughter, shared meals, and unforgettable experiences. In cities across the country, our community gathered for family dinners, axe throwing, arcade games, Top Golf, scenic boat cruises, and more.

Each event had its unique flavor, but they all shared the same heart—a chance to be together. These gatherings are more than just fun; they’re a vital part of what keeps our bonds strong. In a world that often pulls us in different directions, taking the time to connect face-to-face allows us to recharge, share stories, and deepen the relationships that make this community so special.

We are deeply grateful to our hosts, whose energy, hospitality, and creativity brought these events to life. And to everyone who attended—thank you for showing up, for engaging, and for making the effort to strengthen our network.

As we look ahead, we’re reminded that our community thrives when we come together, not only to celebrate but to support, inspire, and uplift one another. The August Gatherings are proof that no matter where we are, the ties we share remain strong.
Special thank you to all our city hosts. We held more events this year than last!
