Thank You for Making Our 6th Annual Fall Fundraiser a Success!

Genesee County Literacy Coalition (GCLC) would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make our 6th Annual Fall Fundraiser at Luigi's Restaurant a success!

Held on Sunday, October 25, 2026, the event brought together community members, supporters, and adult learners for an afternoon of great food, raffle baskets, 50/50 drawings, and community connection.

Funds raised through this year's event will help GCLC continue supporting adult literacy initiatives throughout Flint and Genesee County, including the Danielle Brown Scholarship, technology resources, and other opportunities for adult learners.

A Special Thank You!

We would like to give a special shoutout to Re-Connections and Flint Fury for their generous donations and support of this year's fundraiser! We truly appreciate their commitment to making a difference in our community.

Thank You to Everyone Who Made This Possible!

To everyone who purchased tickets, made donations, contributed raffle baskets, volunteered their time, or helped spread the word, thank you!

We would also like to thank Luigi's Restaurant for hosting our fundraiser and helping us provide an enjoyable afternoon for our guests.

Every contribution, large or small, helps us continue connecting adult learners with the resources, education, and support they need to reach their goals.
