We’ve all heard of a fundraiser and likely have attended one. But, what about a “friend-raiser?” The Literacy Council of Fort Bend County (LCFBC) is hosting it’s Fall Friend-Raiser to – you guessed it – honor old friends and make some new ones. The community is invited to this free event to learn more about how this important organization impacts the lives of so many.

The LCFBC’s Fall Friend-Raiser is scheduled for Tuesday, October 19th from 8:30 to 9:30 am at their offices located at 12530 Emily Court in Sugar Land. Friends can tour the facility, enjoy breakfast, meet supporters and staff, and most importantly, learn about this vital organization. The event will also honor LCFBC’s donors and sponsors for the past year.

The LCFBC is a nonprofit educational program dedicated to helping adults of all ages improve their lives and their communities by learning reading, writing, math and problem-solving skills. The organization is committed to ending inter-generational cycles of illiteracy in Fort Bend County by improving adult literacy skills and generating community-wide literacy awareness. Well-trained and supported volunteers work one-on-one with adults needing to strengthen their basic literacy skills and on a small group basis with those learning to speak English as a second language.

Attendance to the Literacy Council of Fort Bend County’s Fall Friend-Raiser is free; however, reservations are required. To reserve your friendly spot, call 281.240.8181.
