Exciting News! The Dwayne McDuffie Foundation was recently established to celebrate the superhero luminary's lasting impact on comics and animation including Static Shock, Damage Control, Ben 10, and Justice League Unlimited. Recent recognition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History & Culture highlights the late McDuffie's unparalleled influence.

Join us on February 13 to honor Roeper alumnus McDuffie on his humanitarianism and professional achievements. The foundation will present the inaugural Dwayne McDuffie Genius Grant Award to a Lower School student, showcasing his commitment to excellence and inclusion.

💙 Be a part of preserving McDuffie's legacy and educating future generations! Contribute to the McDuffie Genius Grant at www.roeper.org.

Vault of Midnight comic shop has moved to a new location in Detroit and there’s a huge mural that includes Dwayne McDuffie and his characters.

The comic book store is moving to a new location in Detroit. It's double the size and double the fun, said co-founder Curtis Sullivan.

2020 has been a tough year for many. For those who have come through, maybe take a minute, and send a few dollars, to Roeper - let’s keep that home fire burning.

All, new chapter in the design for a difference campaign - Jimmy & Vi’s kitchen - we all remember these two, who took care of us and fed us, drove us, comforted us, corrected us-

Let’s help get that kitchen done by contributing to the fundraising match - there’s a three year pledge term . . .

Phase II of the Designing for the Difference Capital Campaign presents a timely opportunity to “finish what we started”!

Dear friends,

It's that time - time to start thinking about your year-end giving.

I'm not sure I'm running a match this year, but if I do, it will cover donations from October 1 through year-end.

The tax law sure screws blue-staters like me, because of the SALT limitations, but I still have a charitable deduction, and so do you! So let's use them --

Your contribution to the Roeper School allows us to sustain our program and to ensure a diverse student body.
