On March 31 we celebrated the ninth annual Toast to Literacy event. It was the first time we were able to hold the event in person in more than two years. For too long we have been unable to see many of our supporters in person and that made this event incredibly special.

We welcomed old and new friends alike. In Aspire’s annual strategic plan, gross revenues from events account for more than twenty percent of total budgeted support. Read more »

THE 2022 NINTH ANNUAL TOAST TO LITERACY -
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, and supported our 2022 Toast to Literacy! On March 31 we came together to celebrate the students, people, and mission of Aspire in one memorable evening. This was our first opportunity to gather face to face since 2019 at the beautiful Statler Hotel in Dallas. The night was full of people meeting for the first time and rekindling relationships put on hold by the pandemic. Our event chairs Andrew and Elise Aberg did a wonderful job building an event and program that not only raised important money to support Aspire but brought us all together again to reaffirm our dedication to our brave students.

We would also like to thank all the volunteers and staff who helped throughout the night including Mr. Gary Ahr who served as our "live auction" auctioneer. The Toast to Literacy could not have been a success without their tireless efforts.
