September 18th was the date for the seventh annual Night at the Tower, a benefit for the National World War I Museum and Memorial. The festivities were celebrated as a virtual event, with small groups gathering for a watch party experience. Radha and Ram Shankar and Holly and John Thomson served as co-chairmen. Members of the Rowland family were honored for their many years of support and advocacy; the late Landon Rowland was a board trustee and a greatly esteemed friend of the Museum and Memorial.
