Meet Ike
Thank a Veteran Reception
The Eisenhower Foundation was honored to welcome nine World War II veterans during the second annual Thank a Veteran reception held on the campus of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. Guests had the unique opportunity to meet these veterans and hear firsthand accounts of their personal experiences serving during the war.
If you know a World War II veteran who would like to attend next year, please contact Lisa Kijowski, Ike’s Soldiers Specialist.
"Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground" debuts Off-Broadway
A new one-person play starring Tony-Winner John Rubinstein as Dwight D. Eisenhower debuted in early June at the Theatre at St. Clements in New York City. Written by Richard Hellesen and directed by Peter Ellenstein, Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground offers a candid and fascinating fictional reflection on Eisenhower's life. The play draws on many of Eisenhower's memoirs, speeches, and letters, creating a compelling portrait of one of America's most respected leaders.
Presidents Day Match Met!
Thanks to you — our loyal donors — the Eisenhower Foundation will add an original Dwight D. Eisenhower painting to our collection. In honor of the 70th anniversary of Ike’s first term in office, the Eisenhower Foundation was issued a unique matching
gift challenge. If the Foundation raised $20,000 for the 70th Anniversary Presidential Program Series by April 5, 2024, the Estate of Harry and Edith Darby would donate a priceless painting by Eisenhower to the organization.
IKEducation Partners with Abilene High School
Eisenhower’s presidency saw huge advancements in science and technology. The double-helix structure of DNA was discovered in 1953, and in 1958, Ike signed into law the National Defense Education Act, which provided increased funding to math, science, engineering, and foreign languages to promote and improve America’s educational system. The Eisenhower Foundation shares in Ike’s vision to increase science literacy and enable the next generation of innovators.
