In addition, the proceeds of the tickets will go towards a literacy charity called The Reading Excellence and Discovery Foundation (READ) -- www.readnyc.com -- which is a New York based charity that helps children learn how to read. As Kathleen emailed me, "I wanted to donate to a charity right here at home, and this organization works with children in all 5 boroughs. READ utilizes teens in the community as tutors, teaching young children how to read. This not only helps the younger children succeed in their education, but also benefits the teens by making them role models in their communities, developing teaching and life skills that will assist them in their schooling and career paths. it replaced doubt and frustration with self esteem. When we give back to education, the entire community benefits!"
It's ALSO going to be a Birthday party for Kathleen! Sounds like great joy and a giving attitude all around. See you there!
