Join us for this year’s annual fundraiser, Unmasking Dyslexia Gala, an evening dedicated to expanding access to proven literacy support by training more educators and certified dyslexia therapists.
Today, too many students in under-resourced communities are falling behind simply because they lack access to the help they need. With your support, we’re launching a pilot program to train more educators in evidence-based practices and extend their reach across Greater Houston.
When you attend or sponsor the gala, you help build a stronger network of trained professionals, empowering more students to become confident, capable readers.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring the Unmasking Dyslexia Gala directly supports the training and certification of dyslexia therapists who can identify struggling readers early and deliver the intervention they need to succeed, especially in under-resourced communities.
Your gift helps fund our Therapist Training Pilot Program, expanding access to proven literacy support for students across Greater Houston and beyond. Together, we can change the literacy path for the children who need it most.
