Gregory Luce Literary Marathon Campaign Page
From Gregory Luce
“I’m running this literary marathon in support of Day Eight’s educational programming. For many years, Day Eight has supported the development of young writers and performers, helping them find and amplify their voices.
I have personally donated $50 and ask my friends to match or exceed my gift to help me meet my overall campaign goal to raise at least $200 for Day Eight“
About the Campaign
The Literary Marathon is raising funds to support Day Eight’s youth programs. Writing is a tool that saves lives. It gives voice to those who feel like they have none and opens doors that would remain closed. Day Eight works to provide that lifeline to the people of Washington, D.C. and beyond.
