A night of Scrabble to benefit BEACON literacy group

Join BEACON for Adult Literacy at its second Scrabble Scramble fundraiser on Saturday, March 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 9290 Stonewall Road, Manassas, VA 20110.

The event supports the important work BEACON for Adult Literacy does to help low-income adult immigrants learn English, increase employability, maintain family stability, and attain self-sufficiency.

This event gathers teams of four to compete against each other in a game of Scrabble. A table of four is $100 and includes food and a cash bar.

Scrabble Scramble is a fun and easy way to support a great cause,” said Sheri McGlothlin, BEACON Chairperson. Join BEACON
