A Luncheon with Purpose: Building a Future Where All Children Can Read, Dream, and Achieve 

Literacy has the power to open doors, shape futures, and transform lives. 

Join South Shore Stars for an inspiring luncheon dedicated to one vital mission: ensuring every child has the opportunity to develop strong reading skills and reach their full potential. 

This special gathering unites community leaders, advocates, and supporters in the fight for literacy. Every dollar raised directly funds essential programs, equipping children with the tools and support they need to succeed. Together, we can turn the page toward a brighter future. 

Join us in making literacy possible for every child! 

Hosted by Nancy Duggan, Stars Board of Directors 

We are honored to have Nancy Duggan, Executive Director of Decoding Dyslexia MA, as our host. A passionate advocate for literacy and education, Nancy has been instrumental in ensuring that all children, especially those with dyslexia and language-based learning differences, receive the support they need to succeed. 

Special Guest Author: Taylor Tyng 

We are thrilled to welcome Taylor Tyng, acclaimed author of The Legends of Lotus Island. His storytelling ignites imagination, resilience, and a love of reading—values that align perfectly with our mission to ensure every child has access to the right tools, instruction, and support to thrive.
