Join event chairs Neil and Maria Bush in celebrating the 31st annual A Celebration of
Reading, the signature fundraiser for the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation.
Recognizing what would have been Mrs. Bush’s 100th birthday, the program will shine a light on the importance of reading in our community and feature a line-up of four bestselling authors including Grammy-nominated comedian Nate Bargartze, New York Times best-selling author of more than 30 books H.W. Brands, Emmy-winning actor, producer, director and author Kelsey Grammer, and award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of eight books James McBride. Guests will enjoy the program and seated dinner, as well as a silent auction and raffle.
The Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation is a charitable organization formed by Neil and Maria Bush to carry forth First Lady Barbara Bush’s legacy in the literacy cause and to focus deeply on breaking the intergenerational cycle of low literacy in the Bush family’s hometown. Founded on Mrs. Bush’s belief, “If you help a person to read, then their opportunities in life will be endless,” the Barbara Bush Foundation’s mission is to improve lives through the power of literacy. Over the past 10 years, the Foundation has spearheaded innovative literacy programs and expanded access to high-quality services and resources that empower children, families, and adults with the support they need to learn how to read, write, and comprehend.
