The signature benefit for the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County raised $175,000 to aid children and adults struggling with reading skills. Bestselling author Elizabeth Berg was a huge hit with attendees. Berg penned the 2021-22 Read Together Palm Beach County book The Story of Arthur Truluv. Coalition board members Bernadette O’Grady and Debra Ghostine co-chaired. ‘The luncheon was an inspiring celebration and tribute to the love of literacy and our significant efforts in the community,’ CEO Kristin Calder said. ‘We are grateful to the sponsors, volunteers and attendees for their generous support to help us increase our impact to transform lives through literacy.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Louise Glover, Christine Olson, Tandy Robinson, Berg, Deborah Dowd and Susie Roegiers.
