Cocktail Attire
Enjoy an open bar, heavy appetizers, and live entertainment, including poetry from Oakland Youth Poet Laureate, Ella Gordon. Hear inspiring stories of how the Oakland Literacy Coalition is making a difference and how you can join us in creating an even greater impact for students across Oakland and beyond.
We will honor Brian Rogers, Chief Executive Officer Emeritus of the Rogers Family Foundation, whose vision and deep commitment led to the creation of the Oakland Literacy Coalition and a legacy of positive change.
Your presence and generosity will fuel our coalition movement to ensure that all children access the power and joy of reading. Together, we can open new chapters of opportunity and build a brighter future for students and our community.
