The Adult Literacy League is getting ready for its annual fundraising event, Reading Between the Wines, and we are going virtual for the first time EVER! We will be broadcasting our program live from Full Sail University, featuring special guest and New York Times Bestselling author Steve Berry. We cannot wait for viewers to get an exclusive look at Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series and the mission of the Adult Literacy League from the comfort of their own homes.

Since 2011, Reading Between the Wines has enabled us to raise unrestricted funds for our programs and services. Last year, we had to cancel Central Floridians’ favorite bookish night of the year due to the pandemic. Although Reading Between the Wines will look a little different this year, we are thrilled to host the event again and bring the same value to attendees – a night of books, beverages, and awe-inspiring success stories from the students of the Adult Literacy League!

The event attracts prominent business professionals and community leaders from Central Florida and features a silent auction. The proceeds benefit the thousands of adult students we serve annually. In 2019, we raised over $100,000 in cash and in-kind in support of our mission and hosted over 450 guests. Just think of how many guests we can host now that we are not confined to one venue!
