Join us in 2023

“Celebrating Declan’s life at No Ordinary Evening is always a special event for our family. After two years of virtual events, returning to the Palmer House to celebrate with friends and family in person once again made last year’s event extra special. With warm memories of that evening, we are pleased to share our plans for Spring 2023 with a Great Gatsby-inspired theme as Jay Gatsby invites our guests to No Ordinary Evening in West Egg.”

– The Drumm Sullivan Family

Event’s History

No Ordinary Evening was founded to remember and celebrate the life of Declan Drumm Sullivan, who was tragically killed in an accident at the University of Notre Dame on October 27, 2010. His family created the Declan Drumm Sullivan Memorial Fund to memorialize Declan’s life. The Declan Drumm Sullivan Memorial Fund supports organizations that demonstrate substantial local impact in the areas of education and community service.
