The Lake County Literacy Coalition would like to thank all the walkers, runners, donors and volunteers who helped to make our 27th annual Vineyard Run for Literacy a big success.

You make it possible to provide a vital service to the community – opening the world of the printed word to adults who have struggled to be able to read. 

We would like to give a special thank you to Steele Wines for providing the venue as well as additional prizes. Westamerica Bank donated the supplies and printing for our advertising and registration, and many of their employees participated in the event.

We would also like to thank the following teams for bringing in more than $3,000: Pilates to the Core, Woodland Community College and Westamerica Bank.
