Join Us for Our Annual Gala Celebration

Our salute to youth literacy and its enormous influence on our society’s future will celebrate our children, mentors, community leaders and corporate partners through a remarkable evening of celebrity readings, award presentations and auctions. This annual fundraiser is a cornerstone in the financial framework that has made EW!DC the largest children’s literacy and mentoring program in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

For some great pictures from the 2009 gala click here including General Colin Powell, USA (ret.) who was the keynote speaker, U.S Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Senator Harkin and Congressman Moran and our students, mentors, award recipients and corporate partners.

Please join us in support of our efforts to reach out to underserved youth and transform their lives through the power of reading and the inspiration of caring mentors. Their future – our future – depends on our commitment to offer all children the tools necessary to fully and successfully participate in society.
