About this Campaign
Sarah Rusk
Running to empower adults, families, and communities through literacy.
Literally Changing Lives
At Literacy DuPage, we believe that it is never too late to learn. We help adults achieve their goals through free, accessible, customized tutoring in English. Our community of over 400 volunteer tutors help over 500 learners gain the English skills they need to pursue whatever dreams they have for their families.
Team Laps for Literacy is participating in the Healthy Driven Naperville Marathon & Half Marathon on October 23rd, 2016, to raise money for Literacy DuPage. Click here if you are interested in joining our team as a runner, or show your support as a donor.

For Our Learners
Your support of our Laps for Literacy Team goes beyond rewarding the team with special perks - you give the gift of speaking, reading, writing, and/or understanding English to our learners. You gift will serve to literally change someone's life.
What if you had the power to shed light into the darkness?
What would it be like to live in our community if you struggle with reading, writing, speaking, or understanding English? Where would you work? How would you get around? Who would answer your questions? Our learners tell us that it is like living in a black box.
Empowerment through Literacy
Tens of thousands of DuPage County residents possess limited English proficiency and face language and cultural barriers - plus the fear and isolation that come with these barriers - everyday. At Literacy DuPage alone, 500 adult learners are currently working with their tutors to gain the English skills they need to survive and thrive in our community. Through the generosity of our tutors and donors like you, our learners acquire the tools to break out the box and escape the darkness.
By supporting Team Laps for Literacy and Literacy DuPage, you will literally change the lives of learners like Christian and Pablo.
