We invite you to join us in honoring and remembering Deanna Niebuhr–a beloved friend, colleague, and partner, whose friendship and impact will continue to shape our work and our lives.

Deanna brought a rare combination of clarity, humility, and deep care to everything she did. She believed fiercely in young people, in the power of relationships, and in building systems that truly serve who they are meant to. So much of what we hold as essential in our work at CSLX–trust, partnership, and a commitment to seeing and valuing every person–was reflected in how Deanna showed up, every single day. 

This gathering is a space to celebrate her life, share stories, and hold space for remembrance and connection.
