BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW TO JOIN LAMB CHOP AT OUR 15TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION,
COMEDY NIGHT & SILENT AUCTION ON APRIL 29TH!
This year Reading to Kids turns 15 years old, and we'd like you to help us celebrate our
quinceañera on Tuesday, April 29th
at our 15th Anniversary Celebration, Comedy Night & Silent Auction at the Hollywood
Improv!
This hilarious evening will be hosted by internationally-known
Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop!
See the puppet you grew up watching as she helps us celebrate with some of her naughtier "After Dark" material!
Tickets are on sale for just $20, with appetizers and dinner available for additional purchase from the new Roadhouse LA at the Improv's showroom menu! The
always-lively Silent Auction will run from 6:30-7:30 pm, with winners announced just before the comedy show starts at 8:00pm. The show will end at 9:30pm.
Joining
Lamb Chop will be a handful of hilarious comedians
hand-picked by the world famous Hollywood Improv. You won't want to miss out on this event and opportunity to celebrate 15 years
of
Reading to Kids with returning volunteers you may not have seen in
years!
If you are interested in helping with the
Silent Auction, please join the
Reading to Kids Taskforce Special Events Committee, or call us at the
Reading to Kids office for more details.
Anyone who would like to help is encouraged to join us, and we are especially interested in hearing from those volunteers who have helped us with past Comedy Nights.

We'd also like to have a celebrity host as a bingo caller for our annual Legendary Bingo Night on June 11th. Please

EYES ON THE PRIZE(S)
We need YOUR help gathering prizes for this year's events!
Our events are more fun and raise more money if we have
great prizes to award, raffle, and/or auction. Big prizes. Little prizes. Serious prizes. Silly prizes. We need them all! Check out our list of prizes from
last year's Silent Auction for ideas.
If you have any prizes, or you know where to get them, let us
know! We'd love to have something fabulous for the Silent Auction or for our grand prize Bingo winner -- anything unique or with an
autograph is always welcome!
To help you get started, here is a
generic donation letter to give to a manager, supervisor, or friend who may be able to donate a gift, product, or service,
tips on how to best approach a business or person to donate to our events, and a
donation form for the donor to complete.
In the past we have had gift certificates, products, services, and tickets to fun events. If you work at or have a connection with a restaurant, retail store, or for a company with products or services to offer,
please help us by asking for a donation to our
events.
Please also let us know to whom you reach out
so we don't accidentally duplicate
Special Events Committee
efforts in contacting businesses.

Thanks, and we hope to see you on April 12th!
