Literacy Partners 26th Annual Evening of Readings Gala Kick-off

Literacy Partners 26th Annual Evening of Readings Gala Kick-off

On March 1, New York Society joined headliners from the worlds of entertainment, publishing, fashion and media for Literacy Partners 26th Annual Evening of Readings Gala Kick-off event at Michael’s Restaurant.

Literacy Partners Chairman Peter Brown, Gala Chair Liz Smith and Gala Honoree Barbara Taylor Bradford, OBE all spoke at this year’s pre-event cocktail party.

“More than 97 million Adults in America are unable to read above the 5th grade level – including 3.7 million adults right here in New York City,” Taylor Bradford said. “As an author, I can’t remember a time when I could not read or write. To think that there are so many New Yorkers who are unable to share in the joys of reading is astounding. We must do all that we can to support Literacy Partners and their efforts.”

This year’s Kick-off attendees included Yanna Avis, Geoffrey Bradfield, Barbara Taylor Bradford, OBE, Robert Bradford, Roric Tobin, Luke Parker Bowles, Mario Buatta, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Califano, Nancy Corzine, Joannie Danielides, Joni Evans, Ben Gazara, Duane Hampton, Sharon Handler, David Hochberg, Mark Jackson, Iris Love, Mauro Maccioni, Suzanne Mados, Hannah Pakula, Elizabeth Peabody, Bob Perkins, Carolyn Reidy, Liz Robbins, Ed Rollins, Shari Scharfer-Rollins, Ellen Scarborough, Jeffrey Sharp, Muriel Siebert, Lesley Stahl, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Tober, and Shelby White among others.
