Description

Pirate themed night of games & networking to support The Literacy Connection, a nonprofit organization serving 16 northwest Chicago suburbs. Come out for a terrrrrrrrific evening "after hours" at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, IL (meaning, closed to the public, we'll have the library to ourselves). Enjoy networking and trivia at this hybrid fundraiser event for The Literacy Connection to raise much needed funds as this not-for-profit organization - that LITERALLY changes lives - returns to in-person tutoring. Side note: The Literacy Connection will absorb ticket processing fees for all sponsorship levels. The Literacy Connection is a non-profit, community-based 501(c)(3) organization helping individuals acquire fundamental literacy skills and learn to read, write, speak and understand English. Learners are provided tutoring services free of charge in the sixteen northwestern Chicago suburban communities we serve: Algonquin Bartlett Carpentersville Cary Elgin South Elgin East Dundee West Dundee Gilberts Hanover Park Hampshire Hoffman Estates Huntley Lake in the Hills Streamwood Schaumburg The Literacy Connection was organized in 1983 by staff from the Gail Borden Public Library. Since that time, hundreds of volunteers have provided thousands of learners with tens of thousands of hours of tutoring. The agency has won numerous national honors. We are a proud member of the Elgin Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Kane County Chamber of Commerce. The mission of the Literacy Connection is to help adults in the northwest suburbs of Chicago reach their literacy goals through one-on-one volunteer tutoring and small group instruction.
