Sponsorships
Without the support of our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, this center would not be possible.
As of 2023, there have been 90+ tutors trained at the center. We have 5 professionals currently in training with us and we have provided nearly 35,000 lessons since we started in 2002, to students who receive services at no cost to them.
Where does the money come from then? The answer is fundraisers, and this Annual Walk-A-Thon is a great way to contribute to our mission to encourage change, spread knowledge, and be a resource for parents and individuals with dyslexia.
There are many levels of sponsorship, please click here for more information.
