JUNE 10, THE DAY THAT SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES –
June 5, 2023 – The annual gathering, which starts Friday on the University of Akron campus, is held on the weekend closest to June 10, which marks the day in 1935 when AA founder Dr. Bob took his last drink. For more information about the event, visit https://foundersday.org/.
Some of the places that played a key role in AA’s history — like where Bill W. and Dr. Bob first met at the Gate Lodge at Stan Hywet Hall and formulated the organization’s founding principles — will be open for tours. Admission to the Gate Lodge and its exhibit, Henrietta Seiberling: A Spark for a Movement, will be free.
