About EWDC Celebrate!

Since 1995, EWDC has used reading to help children develop the foundational skills needed to succeed in the classroom and beyond. We build social- emotional skills, support fluency in literacy, and foster a love of books and learning. We change children’s lives for the better. But it isn’t just the children who benefit from our work. By creating connections through reading, EWDC helps whole communities thrive. When everybody reads, everybody wins.

Your support of EWDC’s Celebrate! event provides students, schools, and community partners with three distinct reading-based programs designed to fill critical support gaps for children so that they can have a fair and equitable shot at success.

Congratulations EWDC Celebrate! Honoree:

Congratulations Community Champion: Marcus Manning
