SCRABBLE® For Literacy is a charitable event to benefit The Reader's Route program at Danville Area Community College. In addition to approximately 50% of the entry fees being returned to the players as prizes, donated items such as bookstore gift certificates are awarded for various categories. The remaining portion of the entry fee is used to provide materials and services used by the DACC Reader's Route program. Thanks to the SCRABBLE® For Literacy fundraiser, DACC's Adult Education Department has been able to subscribe to the ModuMath Program and students have logged in over 1156 hours over the past two years. Many students were able to complete their GED thanks to this program. Over 1920 student hours have been logged in on the Reading Horizons Software Program; also available because of funds from the SCRABBLE® tournaments. The Reader's Route Scholarship is supported by this fundraiser as well.
