Read to Dream 2025
On May 1, 2025, EWDC hosted our annual Read to Dream at Nationals Park. The evening celebrated all that is magical about EWDC’s reading programs and the positive impact they have on children across the greater DC area. The event also marked EWDC’s 30th anniversary of service, honoring the people and partners who have made it all possible: Mary Salander, EWDC co-founder and former executive director, with the Founder's Award and the Washington Nationals as our 2025 Community Champions.
The event raised $387,000 to help local children thrive through reading. Click here to learn more about the positive impact of Read to Dream 2025.
