Jumpstart, a national nonprofit group that delivers innovative preschool programs for low-income children, will host its "Scribbles To Novels" benefit dinner in Chicago on Wednesday, April 23, at the Harold Washington Library.
The event brings together nationally acclaimed authors and Chicago's elite for a special evening to raise money and awareness for helping at-risk preschool children excel in school. Each year, leaders from the business, civic and philanthropic communities attend to show their support for this effort and early childhood literacy in the Chicago area.
Founded in 1993 at Yale University, Jumpstart pairs 3,500 trained adults one-on-one with preschool children in need of assistance. During the 2007-2008 program year, Jumpstart serves 13,000 children across 20 states.
Tickets are still available. For more information, contact Jeremy Weinstein at 312-873-4054 or Jeremy.Weinstein@jstart.org.
