Good Morning,

President Reagan often said that “America is too great for small dreams.” For him, this wasn’t a slogan — it was a guiding conviction.

He came to office at a moment when many had lost confidence in America’s future. The economy was struggling. Trust in institutions was shaken. Critics said the country’s best days were behind it.

President Reagan disagreed. Grounded in principle and strengthened by resilience, he set out to restore optimism, confront enormous challenges head-on, and lead with moral clarity — even when doing so was unpopular or risky. He believed that courage, freedom, and faith in the American people could move history forward.

That belief continues to inspire the work of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
To honor President Reagan on the 115th anniversary of his birth on February 6, you are invited to sponsor a candle with a gift of $115 or more for his birthday cake. As a token of thanks for your generosity we’ll save a seat for you, if you are attending the birthday celebration in-person.
No matter what amount you choose to give, your generous tax-deductible gift honors his life and legacy and helps his timeless principles continue to inspire Americans today and for generations to come.
