As usual, the children stole the show.

But as always when Everybody Wins! DC (EW!DC) stages its annual Gala celebration, the children are the show.

In its 19th year of bringing powerful business and political leaders together to recognize mentorship and literacy, EW!DC provided a surprise in the form of a one-time mentee to Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), who traveled from her home in California to deliver a heartfelt tribute to her former Reading Mentor.

Everybody Wins! DC (EW!DC) is excited to announce that BET Networks Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Debra Lee will deliver the keynote address at the 19th Annual Gala Celebration.  The Gala will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at The Capital Hilton Hotel.

In a demonstration of commitment to increasing literacy among the DC metropolitan area’s elementary school students, PwC is Lead Mentor Corporate Sponsor for one of Everybody Wins! DC’s (EW!DC) Power Lunch programs for the 2013-2014 school year. For the third year, Key Elementary School’s Power Lunch program is the beneficiary of PwC’s commitment. The thriving program hosts close to 90 students as they meet with a Reading Mentor to read and talk once a week. Of the 130 mentors reading in the program at Key, 37 are PwC employees, over twice the number who read in the program last year.
