BookEnds Scrabble Challenge

This Thursday, March 8th, I had the opportunity to attend the annual BookEnds Scrabble Challenge in Los Angeles. I would like to thank Gayle Baigelman, the Associate Director, for having me at this amazing event! This fundraiser benefitted BookEnds, an organization established in 1998 that has donated more than two million books.

I really enjoyed meeting all the attendees and hearing how they are involved with children's literacy. I also had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Keefe, who founded BookEnds when he was only eight years old.

In addition to the delicious buffet dinner and silent auction, over 200 guests competed in the Scrabble competition. My partner Ashley Sacks, who is on the BookEnds Board of Directors, and I won our Scrabble game!
