April has arrived with a wonderful sense of gratitude and momentum here at the Central New York Children’s Dyslexia Center. Following the excitement of our 12th Annual Gala, we are filled with appreciation for the incredible community that continues to support our mission.

Our Gala at Harts Hill Inn was a tremendous success. The evening was filled with energy, laughter, and meaningful connections as friends, supporters, and community members came together to celebrate the work of the Center. A highlight of the night was the unforgettable entertainment by mentalist Robert Channing, who amazed and delighted our guests.

We are especially grateful for the generosity shown through our basket raffle. Thanks to the kindness of local businesses, supporters, and friends of the Center, over 50 beautiful baskets were donated. The raffle was a tremendous success and added excitement to the evening while helping raise important funds that directly support the services we provide to children and families.

Events like the Gala are only possible because of the dedication and generosity of so many people. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and helped make the evening such a memorable celebration. Your continued support allows us to expand access to structured literacy instruction and change the lives of students with dyslexia.

While we celebrate the success of the Gala, our work continues every day in our classrooms. Our students remain committed to their learning, and we are proud to see the progress they continue to make through structured literacy instruction. Their determination and growth inspire us daily.

We are also continuing to plan for our next tutor training program, which will begin in July. We are currently seeking candidates interested in becoming trained tutors through our program. Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree, and those interested in learning more are encouraged to contact the Center for additional information.

Thank you for being part of our mission and for helping make this year’s Gala such a tremendous success. We look forward to the continued progress and opportunities that the months ahead will bring.
