Thank you to everyone for their support and donations for our Virtual Fall Gala.
The evening turned out better than we could have ever expected with help of so many hard working people from New Life Church and On Point Communications. We were able to raise the money needed to continue our support for literacy tutoring in Title 1 schools throughout Virginia.

Every year we pause to acknowledge our impact on literacy and express appreciation for our tutors, volunteers, partners and supporters.

About the LEC 2020 Virtual Fall Gala
Life Enrichment Center volunteers and staff work hard throughout the year, but we pause each October to acknowledge our impact, express appreciation for our volunteers and supporters, and hear an inspiring message that keeps us focused on our mission.
Our virtual event affords friends and guests with a wonderful opportunity to learn more about LEC and the children we serve. It’s a joyful time as we highlight accomplishments, recognize our Partner of the Year and look ahead at opportunities to expand our programs and help more children become confident readers. Through compelling personal stories shared by staff and volunteers, you will come to know the precious children in our programs and celebrate their success with us.
