An exciting autumn at Founding Forward
That’s a wrap on a busy, successful summer! Looking ahead, we have a busy fall season with several events and programs, including two Spirit of America Youth Leadership programs for high school students and two incredible seminars for educators at Liberty Hill.
We also continue our celebration of America250, offering a variety of speaker programs, tours, and special events. Click here to learn more.
Attend a Valley Forge campus tour
Don’t miss your chance to experience fall foliage and tour our beautiful 86-acre Valley Forge campus! This is also the perfect opportunity to get a close-up of some of the exciting changes occurring due to our campus revitalization initiatives.
While our September tour is full, we encourage you to sign up for our October 10 or November 14 tours. To ensure a personalized experience, the number of participants is limited, and registration is required.
Over $700,000 raised in support of civics
On August 3, we welcomed donors, partners, and volunteers to National for our annual Golf Classic for a fun-filled day of golf and celebration.
Thanks to our donors and sponsors, including presenting sponsor M&T Bank, we raised over $700,000. These funds will be instrumental in helping Founding Forward foster even more civically engaged and informed citizens through our programs for students, teachers, and the community.
We extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Paul Becker and the Golf Committee for their leadership and support.
Looking ahead
Annual Celebration and Groundbreaking
We are looking forward to our annual gathering of donors and friends on September 17 for our Annual Celebration on Constitution Day! This special event will include exciting announcements and the inaugural presentation of the Charles Kurz, II Prize for Civic Education Leadership. Additionally on September 18, we’ll be breaking ground on a year-long renovation of the main administrative building on our Valley Forge campus. Due to limited space, this event is by invitation only.
Visit our new exhibit
Make sure you stop by our Crafting Independence: “All Men are Created Equal” exhibit, located in the Heritage Center at the League House, as we continue celebrating America’s 250th.

Save the date for the 5th Annual Fire in the Hole Golf Outing on Monday, November 2 at Liberty Hill. This year proceeds will benefit both Travis Manion Foundation and Founding Forward—bringing together character and civics. Registration details will be available soon.
