'One for the Books' Gala
This Gala is “One for the Books”
The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia invites you to its fundraising gala – “One for the Books” – to celebrate 50 years of improving the community through literacy in all aspects of life! Mingle with celebrity chef José Andrés, award-winning author David Baldacci, and top-ranked financial advisor Ric Edelman. Robert Egger, who The NonProfit Times listed as one of the "50 Most Powerful and Influential" nonprofit leaders, will serve as Master of Ceremonies at the event. Egger is the Founder and President of the DC Central Kitchen, the country's first "community kitchen," where food donated by hospitality businesses and farms is used to fuel a nationally recognized culinary arts job training program. The event menu is inspired by José Andrés and catering will be provided by Fresh Start Catering. Only 200 tickets will be sold and tickets are priced at $150 each.
