Why it matters

Writing is powerful. It heals, connects, and transforms. 

The Write-a-Thon Showcase and Fundraiser is a chance to support Wordcrafters’ mission of empowering writers of all ages and backgrounds and witness the transformative impact of writing. Funds raised during this event help support Wordcrafters’ programs, ensuring everyone has access to the power of telling their story.

Join in the celebration!

  • Attend and celebrate with us!
  • Donate to support our writing community
  • Cheer on the writers who poured their hearts onto the page
  • Did we mention there’s a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN?!

Dress code

We’re a bunch of writers. Come as you are! If that means a ball gown and tiara, that’s awesome. But jeans and a T-shirt is fine, too. (That’s what Jeaux will be wearing). Bonus points if your clothing is writing-themed.

Can’t make it? Bid on the fab items in our online auction!
