Support The Literacy & Authors Impact Festival

Because stories change lives, and access to them changes communities.

The Literacy & Authors Impact Festival is a multicultural celebration that brings together authors, illustrators, educators, creatives, and families to uplift the power of literacy and storytelling. Designed for all ages, this festival highlights how reading, writing, and creative expression strengthen individuals, families, and entire communities.

We’re raising funds to ensure this impactful experience remains accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone.

🌍 Why This Festival Matters

Literacy is more than reading, it’s confidence, opportunity, and voice.

Through:

• 📖 Author readings & book signings

• 🎤 Panel discussions & live demonstrations

• ✍🏽 Hands-on workshops & youth storytelling sessions

• 🌎 Multilingual and multicultural programming

The festival creates meaningful connections between creators and audiences while promoting lifelong learning, artistic exploration, and community pride.

By hosting this event in Racine, WI we’re positioning the city as a welcoming destination for literary arts, education, and cultural tourism, while amplifying diverse voices and stories that deserve to be heard.

🎥 A Space for Creators to Shine

This year, we’re introducing the Authors Impact Content Creation Zone, a dynamic space where content creators can:

• Capture powerful moments

• Create engaging social media content

• Share the festival’s message with a wider audience

Add in exclusive swag bags, door prizes, and a souvenir booklet, and the festival becomes not just an event, but an experience.
