After a two-year hiatus, the annual Eisenhower Legacy Gala returned on October 15, 2022, at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. This year’s theme, “How Ike Led,” featured keynote speaker Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Dwight D. Eisenhower and author of How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions. Gala attendees received autographed copies of the book.

Thanks to a matching gift challenge from the Beach-Edwards Family Foundation and generous donors across the country, this year's Giving Tuesday campaign was the most successful in the Eisenhower Foundation’s history.

The challenge was simple: if the Foundation met its $10,000 goal, the Beach-Edwards Family Foundation would match every dollar up to $10,000. Thanks to the overwhelming support of loyal donors, this goal was not only met in record time but nearly doubled, raising over $29,700.
