This event is designed to raise money to support our programs that teach English, digital and family literacy, citizenship, and job readiness skills. Additionally, 30% of the funds raised will help kickstart our capital campaign, as our current building is aging and has reached full capacity. The money we raise will help us make necessary updates and will serve as initial funding for our future fundraising efforts.
Come join us for a delightful evening filled with great wine, tasty food, and fun auctions. Enjoy fantastic music, a dance performance, and the chance to meet local artists. Your support will make a significant difference for our hardworking nonprofit and the community we serve. We hope to see you on December 6, 2025, from 5:30 to 9:00 PM at the Bradenton Area Convention Center (1 Haben Blvd, Palmetto, FL).
In the United States, learning English as an adult is very important, especially given our diverse communities. For those who are not native speakers, becoming fluent in English can lead to better job opportunities, increased involvement in the community, and stronger personal connections. Studies show that having good English skills often results in higher pay and better career options.
For the past 30 years, Project Light Language School, a local nonprofit organization, has been focused on helping adults learn English and successfully integrate into American life. Our dedicated teachers and staff work hard to create a welcoming environment where students can thrive and contribute positively to their communities and the country as a whole. At Project Light, we aim to build a respectful community that brings people together and promotes unity and success.
Thank you!
Our sponsors make this evening possible.
