Join us for a fun night out - with trivia, food and beverages, and a virtual silent auction - all in support of Minnesota's youngest learners!
There are two things we know Minnesotans love: our awesome local breweries, and supporting a good cause! We invite you to join us the evening of Thursday, Oct. 10th at Urban Growler in St. Paul from 5-8pm for a fun, casual event in support of our brain-building, family-bonding, early learning program for young children here in Minnesota.
We have a couple of ways you can join us and support our state's youngest learners:
- Participate in our virtual silent auction filled with amazing items and experiences from Minnesota local businesses and beyond. We have something for just about everyone. Our auction will open several days before the event and will close Oct. 10th at 10:00pm . If you have an item or experience you would like to donate, email us at info@reachoutandreadmn.org on or before September 21st. Check again soon to see a preview of the items!
- Come hang out with us at Urban Growler in St. Paul any time between 5-8pm. We'll be in the Barrel Room event space. Around 6:30 we'll play a quick round of trivia and hear from our leadership team. Our trivia players will have a chance to win one of our very stylish "BOOKS BUILD BETTER BRAINS" t-shirts or baby onesies.
- Make a donation in support of our work. This is a fundraiser, after all! Minnesota's young children and their families need is critical to support families of young children and to get books into the hands of our young learners! Your support makes that happen at our partner pediatric clinics across the state. Make a gift here, or learn more about our program here.
Books & Brews is a free event that is open for all to attend. We don't sell tickets for the event, but we encourage all attendees who are able to make a gift in an amount that is meaningful to them. Donations make our brain-building program possible at clinics al across Minnesota!
We will also be receiving donations of gently-used children's books at the event!
Learn more about what kind of books we are looking for and how we use our gently used books on our book donation page.
