Eat Read Hugo 2021: Virtual Auction & Event
Celebrate the power of storytelling!
Join us for Eat Read Hugo, a virtual, one-hour program on Thursday, September 23, where we’ll showcase the talented voices of our teachers and students and hear from our interim executive director, Rob Arnold.
The past year has been been one of tension, disconnection, and uncertainty for many of us, but the written word binds us together, time and time again. This fundraiser supports every aspect of our literary arts programming: free classes, community outreach, youth and adult scholarship programs, and more.
Stay tuned for more information about auction packages, special guests, and details about where Raise the Paddle proceeds will go. Most importantly, admission is free to everyone! We hope you’ll join us.
