The event is FREE, but donations will be taken on-site for 826DC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. 826dc.org.

826DC helps students to write their own paths forward. Through dynamic educational programs here in DC, children and youth are equipped with the writing skills that are necessary for success in and beyond the classroom. 826DC provides drop-in tutoring, field trips, after-school workshops, in-school programs, help for English language learners, and assistance with student publications.
