Reading is the key to life. This was famously said by Liz Smith, the 'patron saint' of Literacy Partners. Reading and literacy empower people to overcome obstacles and accomplish the 'impossible'. Students enter our classes and leave with improved English, high school diplomas, a love of reading, and confidence. They not only have dreams of a brighter
tomorrow, but they have the tools to get there.
Last week's Gala which feted Liz Smith and others, was a celebration of our students and all we have achieved, together. Your generosity that night helped us raise close to
$1 million in support of adult and family literacy. We thank you for supporting Literacy Partners, but, more importantly, for helping create opportunity and progress for our fellow New Yorkers!
If you were unable to attend the Gala, but would still like to connect, join us at our next After Hours event on
April 19. We'd love to see you and talk about the latest goings on at Literacy Partners.
Anthony Tassi,
CEO
