Read Ahead’s annual gala raises critical funds to serve the students in our program, and recognizes and celebrates the community of supporters who help make our vision a reality. 

This year’s event was one for the record books, and we had an amazing time celebrating our honoree, Teneo, and Authorship Award recipients Stephanie Lukas, Dana Shatten, and Giselle Leon from P.S. 51. Special thank you to Bill Staffieri for leading the Make an Impact portion of the evening and DJ Boxie for a fun close to the night. And thank you to our host committee and gala co-chairs Julie Allen, Julie North, and John Smith for their leadership.

Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us! Check out photos from the gala below.
