Atlanta Speech School Guild Announces Language & Literacy Gala

Press release from the Atlanta Speech School:

Dec. 14, 2022

This spring, The Atlanta Speech School Guild will hold the 2023 Language and Literacy Gala. For a half-century, the Guild has served as the volunteer and fundraising arm of the school, working to uphold founder Katherine Hamm’s promise to help all children find their voice through language and literacy, regardless of their financial limitations. The Guild’s largest annual fundraiser, The Language & Literacy Gala, helps maintain that important legacy. The 2022-2023 Gala will be held on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at the Georgia Aquarium.

With more than 250 members, the Guild’s mission is to foster community-building and provide fundraising to support the Atlanta Speech School, which was recognized by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative as one of the top eight educational programs in America, thanks to the school’s focus on “eradicating illiteracy and educational inequity” for our “most vulnerable children.”

The Gala is the Guild's largest fundraiser and one hundred percent of proceeds go to support the school's need-based financial aid program. The Speech School has never turned a child away due to financial limitations and the annual Gala helps maintain that legacy.

The 2023 Language and Literacy Co-Chairs are Cameron Glass, Ciara Irons, Ali Blaisdell and Stacey Shailendra. The President of the Guild is Alice Strachan. An Apres Ski themed patron party for supporters and sponsors of the Gala will be held on Thursday, February 23rd, 2023 at 6:30pm. For information about corporate and family sponsorship opportunities, donations for the silent auction, or to purchase Gala tickets, please contact visit Atlanta Speech School - Literacy & Language Gala 2022-2023.
