2025 Dyfference Makers Gala Sponsors
Read Between the Wines | Reading Shouldn’t Be Scary
There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for the generous sponsors who helped make our annual Read Between the Wines Gala such an enormous success. The 2025 gala was a powerful celebration of literacy, inclusion, and community impact. Their support fuels Dyfference Makers’ mission to empower children with dyslexia through evidence-based tutoring, educator training, and accessible resources. From friends of the founders, to local businesses and even a rock star celebrity, each sponsor played a vital role in helping struggling readers thrive. Below, we proudly showcase those who helped us raise awareness, build momentum, and make a lasting Dyfference.
Isaac Hanson, musician and advocate, shared his personal experience with dyslexia during the gala, offering a heartfelt reminder that learning differences are not a reflection of intelligence or curiosity. “It’s about symbol decoding,” he explained, describing the unique challenges—and strengths—of dyslexic thinkers. His words encouraged us all to lead with empathy, understanding, and support for children navigating similar paths. We’re grateful for his voice and the compassion he brought to our celebration.
