A Celebration of Literacy
Benefiting Literacy Achieves
Kaki & Shelton Hopkins, Co-Chairs
Announcing a Transformation to Wings of Spring!
Wings of Spring 2020 will feature a fresh, new “dinner-theater format” allowing guests to enjoy both a seated dinner and the performance at reserved tables in the exquisitely appointed Tobian Hall at Temple Emanu-El. The event will include an elegant dinner at tables set for 10, and the opportunity to experience comradery with fellow patrons supporting the life-changing work of Literacy Achieves.
Our Honorary Chairs, Cindi & Jay Anthony
In appreciation for their faithful contributions, we are delighted to announce that longtime Literacy Achieves supporters Cindi and Jay Anthony will serve as Honorary Chairs of this year’s gala. Cindi was Board President in 2005 when the first Wings of Spring event took place, making it particularly appropriate to have this dedicated couple as our Honorary Chairs as we celebrate the 15-year milestone for our annual gala. Since its inception Wings of Spring has raised nearly $3 million to Change Lives Through Literacy.
