The WITS Blackboard Affair is the key driver of funds and partnerships that provides the necessary resources to empower elementary students to discover themselves through reading while developing foundational literacy skills.

The Mirror Ball is an event like no other that makes dancing the night away not only look good but do good. Each year 500 members of the WITS community raise nearly $600,000 to fund literacy enrichment programing in Chicago Public Schools (CPS).

We can’t wait for you to join us by attending, sponsoring, or donating to The Blackboard Affair.
