About the Gala

The Literacy & Learning Gala celebrates the incredible possibilities that strong literacy gives our children.

Together, we will honor the progress being made, recognize literacy leaders, and raise critical support to continue this work. The evening will also feature a silent auction, offering guests a meaningful way to support our mission further.

Hosted at the iconic National WWII Museum in New Orleans, the gala will bring supporters together in one of the nation's most inspiring venues, providing a memorable backdrop for an evening dedicated to changing the future through literacy.

Building on Progress. Expanding What’s Possible.
