Remembering Charles Augins: A Legend, A Leader, A Legacy

At Duke Ellington School of the Arts, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and collaboration—and this year’s DESA on the Vineyard event is no exception. We’re honored to recognize the generous sponsors who make it all possible.

Dave Chappelle is honoring his mentor and former teacher, Donal Leace, by contributing proceeds of his film screening on Martha's vineyard on Friday August 8th to The Donal Leace Endowment, originally established in January 2021 to honor the legacy of Donal Richard Leace and his long-time commitment to Duke Ellington School of the Arts and its students.
