As our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Cannon Ridge Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is honored to host a commemorative evening in Ridgefield, Connecticut.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the Cannon Ridge Chapter will host the Remembrance Ball at the historic Lounsbury House. This black-tie gala commemorates our Nation’s Semiquincentennial, pays tribute to those who fought for American independence, and respectfully honors all sacrifices made at the Battle of Ridgefield.
The evening will feature an exceptional dinner prepared by Chef Forrest Pasternack, trained at the Culinary Institute of America. The menu will be rooted in the revolutionary era and inspired by the storied hospitality of George and Martha Washington. Thereafter, guests will be invited to dance, and to participate in an auction.
Tickets go on sale to the public mid-February. Complete event details and ticket information may be found here: https://TheRemembranceBall.fundraiser.support
Additional information regarding sponsorship opportunities, program advertisements, and charitable contributions is available on the gala website.
Proceeds from the Remembrance Ball will remain local and will support the Cannon Ridge Chapter’s charitable initiatives in education, patriotism—particularly service to veterans and their families—and historic preservation. The Cannon Ridge Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, is a tax-exempt organization pursuant to IRC Section 501(c)(3), EIN 87-4336244.
