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

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for our 6th Annual Fall Fundraiser at Luigi’s Restaurant this past Sunday! The energy, generosity, and community spirit made this one of our most successful events yet.


From the creative themed gift baskets to the raffles, the day was filled with fun, connection, and purpose. It was inspiring to see both longtime supporters and new faces join in to support literacy and lifelong learning.


Thanks to your kindness — through ticket purchases, donations, and raffle entries — we raised vital funds that will help GCLC continue providing resources, scholarships, and technology to adult learners across Flint and Genesee County.


A very special thank you to Luigi’s Restaurant for hosting us once again, to our volunteers, and to everyone who helped behind the scenes. We’re also grateful to those who sponsored tickets, your generosity ensured that our students could take part in this event and continue to benefit from our programs year-round.


Every dollar raised goes directly toward advancing literacy, supporting education, and empowering adults in our community. Together, we’re making lifelong learning possible!

🍕 GCLC Hosts 5th Annual Fall Fundraiser at Luigi’s


Genesee County Literacy Coalition (GCLC) invites the community to our 5th Annual Fall Fundraiser at Luigi’s Restaurant on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 12–3 p.m. at 2132 Davison Rd., Flint.


For just $25 per ticket, guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza, salad bar, and breadsticks while supporting literacy programs for both adults and youth in Flint and Genesee County. The event will also feature raffles, gift baskets, and a 50/50 drawing.


All proceeds go directly toward providing learners with essential services and technology to help them succeed. Since 1989, GCLC has worked alongside community partners to improve literacy levels across the county. Our nonprofit is supported entirely through fundraisers, community grants, and donations.


In addition to ongoing literacy initiatives, GCLC proudly awards the Danielle Brown Scholarship, a $1,000 annual award that supports a local student continuing their education after high school or GED completion. The coalition also launched the Virtual Learning Project in 2020 to help adult learners overcome barriers with access to technology and tools for academic and career success.


📣 Please help us by sharing this event with friends, family, and coworkers. Every ticket purchased and every raffle entered brings us one step closer to ensuring literacy resources remain available to all in our community.


🙏 Unable to attend? Donations can be made directly to GCLC through our PayPal.


🎟️ Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling (810) 243-3349. No tickets will be sold at the door.
