Founders' Dinner

The evening before our Annual Breakfast has become a time set apart to continue the conversation with those who share our love for Notre Dame and concern for her Catholic identity. What began informally in the homes of our founders has become an annual tradition of gathering for a private dinner with our speakers and others who have played a meaningful role in Sycamore’s mission. It’s an opportunity to share stories, ideas, and a meal in the kind of setting where our work first began.

In many ways, this dinner reflects the very origins of Sycamore — born from conversations around a table, guided by shared convictions and a desire to serve the Church and Notre Dame. That spirit of dialogue and fellowship continues, which is why we now refer to this evening as our “Founders’ Dinner.”
