All Ages Read Together Prepares to Host New Community Events in Support of Their Students

As autumn comes into full swing in Northern Virginia, the nonprofit All Ages Read Together (AART) is inviting their community to help them raise funds to support delivering life-changing educational opportunities to their students while celebrating the season.

Throughout November, AART will be hosting neighborhood events in partnership with the gracious support of their community partners: Bunnyman Brewing, Fabbioli Cellars, and Sedona Taphouse. AART’s relationships with local businesses and organizations are invaluable to their success and amplify their ability to provide an enriching and memorable preschool experience to their students.'

Michelle Sullivan, Executive Director of AART, emphasizes the importance of community involvement in achieving the organization’s mission, “It takes a village to raise a child … We are better able to surround our students and their families with support when we have our friends and neighbors amplifying our mission and working with us to make that happen.”

For all of AART’s foodies, they are excited to offer an easy and delicious way to support their free preschool program. Through a special partnership with Sedona Taphouse in Chantilly, every Monday in November (Nov. 3rd, Nov. 10th, Nov. 17th, and Nov. 24th) diners can enjoy a delicious meal with a variety of refreshing on tap pairings. Enjoy 50% off a great meal at Sedona Taphouse while doing your part for charity. For every HALF PRICE 8 oz. Black Angus Flat Iron Steak, 8 oz. Grilled Chicken, or 7 oz. Grilled Salmon entrée sold, Sedona Taphouse will donate $1 to our organization!

*You must dine in on a Monday and purchase a beverage, and the promotion is limited to one entrée per person. You can’t beat that!
