The Evening of Readings and Gala Dinner Dance is Literacy Partners’ largest and most important fundraising event.
For 30 years, the Evening of Readings has brought together corporate leaders from publishing, media, finance and technology to advance the mission of Literacy Partners. The brain child of Liz Smith and her dear friends, Arnold Scaasi and Parker Ladd, the event has also featured some of the most important writers of our time reading from their acclaimed or yet to be published works.
