Earlier today, Start Early hosted its Annual Luncheon – a virtual, nationwide celebration of the transformational power of starting early.
For those who were able to attend, thank you! We are in awe of the engagement we witnessed throughout the event, with thousands of attendees joining from coast to coast.
Couldn’t join us? That’s okay! Check out a full recording and recap of the event from Start Early President Diana Rauner.
As the inspiring stories shared during today’s program demonstrated, investing in quality early learning programs is a proven solution to addressing many of the challenges in today’s society. Each of us has a role to play in support of this critical issue, whether it be the investment of personal time or financial gifts. Learn more about the ways you can get involved and support our mission to close the opportunity gap and change the course for our youngest learners.
Thank you to the families, educators and early learning champions, including Former First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Clinton Boyd, Jr., who shared their personal and inspirational stories to demonstrate the power of early learning. Thank you also to our generous sponsors, particularly our presenting sponsors LaSalle Network and the Zell Family Foundation, who helped make today’s program possible.
We were honored to serve as this year’s Annual Luncheon Co-Chairs, and we thank you for your continued support. We hope to see you soon!
