Better Basics hosted the 5th annual Love for Literacy event. As the premier fundraising event, Love for Literacy supports all ten educational programs within Better Basics. The Love for Literacy 2019 gala will provide additional program and media attention focusing on Better Basics’ 25th year in service! The evening was held at The Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook and attendees enjoyed live entertainment, a night of dancing, and a fantastic silent auction. Sponsors included American Pipe and Supply, Ash Renovations, Avani Rupa Fine Jewelers (she will be raffling off a ring and cufflinks), Bayer Properties, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Brassfield and Gorrie, Junior League of Birmingham, KPMG, Lakeview Risk Partners, Medical Properties Trust, National Bank of Commerce, Protective, Tacala LLC, and WVTM 13 Better Basics provides literacy intervention and enrichment programs for students in Birmingham, Fairfield, Leeds, and Midfield City Schools, as well as Clay and Talladega County Schools. Their programs empower our community’s youth, helping children learn to read, comprehend, retain, and ultimately learn. This increases our students’ confidence levels, infusing literature into children’s homes and exposing them to multi-cultural arts and enrichment programs.
