 Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) a national program advocating children's literacy, will be conducting a fundraising gala themed after the children's classic "Where the Wild Things Are"

Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) is the largest children’s literacy nonprofit in the United States. They prepare and motivate children to read by delivering free books and literacy resources to those children and families who need them most.

 From the RIF Website:
On Thursday, May 9 from 6:30 – 10:00p.m., RIF will present an extraordinary event celebrating Maurice Sendak’s beloved and sometimes deliciously feared (!) story about Max and his journey to where the wild things live. Transforming the Four Seasons Washington, DC into an island of creatures, monsters, and otherwise scary beasts, RIF along with our corporate partners and donors will celebrate all of the wild things as they “roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws.” And, of course, raise funds to prepare and motivate children to read by delivering free books and literacy resources to those children and families who need them most.
