It Will Be Here Before You Know It! 

Come and celebrate with us alongside Honorary Chairs Janet & Don Klien, as we raise a glass to support struggling readers in Houston. Our unique annual gala features a delicious four-course meal and exquisite wine, all while empowering kids to read. 

The event will also honor Rebecca & Dudley Ray with the Education in Excellence Award for their many years of compassion and support for the children and families we serve.

Magnums will sell out, so seize the opportunity!  For more information to purchase a table/tickets, click here.  If you need additional details, contact Regina Trevino.

The Power of Literacy 

No power?  No problem.  

During the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, some of our staff used the opportunity to read with their loved ones outdoors.  It’s hard to imagine a more enjoyable way to pass time while waiting for the power to be restored.

Some Kind of Vibe (as the kids would say)

Excited to share our brand-new Young Professionals logo.
