Thank you, Gaston County! 💙

One week ago, you filled the room at Gaston Country Club for Can You Say… Hero? An Evening with Tom Junod, in conversation with Scott Fowler. Thank you for coming, for bidding, and for believing that everyone in our community deserves the chance to read.

A special thank you to Tom and Scott for a conversation we won’t forget, to our Headline Sponsor, Beam Construction, and to Woodson’s Toys, The Sumner Group, and Chris West for our raffle baskets. Thank you to Belmont Bookshop for bringing the books. And to our Board, our volunteers, and our staff, who made it all happen.

The evening may be over, but the work goes on. Want to keep helping? Become a Literacy Champion at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/literacy-leaders-circle. Together, we can reach 1,000 Champions!
