Achieve Gala
Postponed
DPS Schools
Across the city
After DPS Foundation’s Achieve Gala 2020 was postponed due to COVID-19, we decided to evolve and create a unique chance to gather together in support of our students. This year we took this event to the community!
Volunteers joined us on the morning of August 7 for an outdoor community rebuilding event. Learn more about how the day went here.
