WHAT
For the past 6 years, we’ve gathered in August to kick off a new school year and raise funds for Literacy First to teach thousands of children in Austin to read. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from joining together in person to rally for Literacy First. More importantly, it has also amplified the need for the program’s early literacy tutoring services in the coming school year, as students fall even further behind in reading.
Literacy First is prepared to respond to this need with both in-person and virtual tutoring, and your support makes that response possible. Please join us by participating in the Socially Distant Study Social when you Book Your Ticket to Read anytime now through Fall 2020. While we won’t be able to offer the live music or tasty refreshments of events past, 100% of your gift will go straight to Literacy First, helping K-2 students in Austin learn to read and read to learn this year.
