Words & Friends for Literacy 2023

Words & Friends for Literacy is our annual fundraising event where we invite members of the community to form teams of two or more people to participate in a three-game Scrabble competition. Game-play is within your own team, and each team will keep a record of their points. The points for each team will be tallied to decide the winners who will receive special awards for their superior literacy kung-fu. Throughout the event, there will be opportunities to enhance both your point totals and donations by purchasing extra letters. There will be food, music, and plenty fun. This year, we are changing things up by encouraging participants to bring interesting items to share as “door prizes.” Items can be taken from your own personal collections or brand new. Nothing over $25. Think White Elephant!

Our Goal?

The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and funds for adult literacy! We are the only community-based literacy program for adults in Portage County, and proceeds from this event are essential to the services we provide our learners.
