The Darien Old Timers Athletic Association [DOTAA] was founded by members of the Piedmont Club in 1961. DOTAA’s primary missions were to recognize outstanding athletic achievement, primarily within the Darien community, and to support athletics within the community. Over the years that mission has changed and evolved; in addition to recognizing the past accomplishments of athletes from Darien, the DOTAA now awards several financial scholarships to graduating Darien High School [DHS] seniors each year, and not just athletes. The DOTAA also supports those in need in Darien through financial donations to Darien Social Services.
