Learning Lab hosts annual Lunch for Literacy

The Learning Lab is hosting their largest annual fundraiser, Lunch for Literacy, on Thursday, February 19 at the Boise Centre on the Grove. The luncheon kicks-off with a silent auction at 11 a.m. featuring copies of autographed books from well-known authors including David Sedaris, Sean Connery, Newt Gingrich, Ridley Pearson, Isabel Allende and George Foreman, among others.

The lunch and program begin at noon. Keynote speaker is Nancy Turner, award-winning author of the popular Sarah Prine series. Also speaking is Mohamed Ibrahim Mohamed, a current Learning Lab student who made his way to the Treasure Valley after fleeing his home in the violence-ravaged countryside of Sudan. Mohamed will generously share the story of his journey towards literacy and talk about the Learning Lab’s impact upon his life.

Tickets are $50 for individuals and $500 for a table. The luncheon is fun, fast-paced, positive and supports a great cause – helping people who struggle with literacy. Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.learninglabinc.org/ddr/purchase.php

For more information, to donate to the Learning Lab, or if you're interested in sponsoring a table at the luncheon, contact Ann Heilman, Executive Director, at aheilman@learninglabinc.org or 344-1335 ext. 120.
