Each year, we remember Gerry Kandler, former president of ACLU Delaware, and honor those who exemplify his tireless commitment to the defense of all Delawareans’ civil liberties.
Typically, we honor a few select Delawareans each year for their contributions to civil liberties. This year, on the 40th anniversary of the Kandler Celebration, we are making a big change: we are honoring EVERYONE!
And that's why this year we are making tickets to the Kandler Celebration free to everyone who wants to attend.
2025 has proven to be a difficult year already, and we need to be in community with one another now more than ever. Join us in celebrating our collective community action with an evening of hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and an online silent auction to support civil liberties work in Delaware!
WHEN:
Thursday, October 23, 6 - 9 p.m.
WHERE
Carriage House at Rockwood Park
4671 Washington Street Extension,
Wilmington, DE 19809
For questions, or if you need accessibility accomodations to attend, reach out to Melissa Bryson at [email protected].
