The nonprofit equips students with phonetic tools at no cost to foster literacy, confidence, and lifelong love for reading. Since its inception in 2009, the organization has empowered over 11,000 students

Why This Night Matters
In 2024, SAVOR delivered an unforgettable, star-studded evening and raised meaningful funds for literacy. The event featured honorees from across the community, a powerful keynote from State Senator Bob Archuleta on the impact of literacy, and an inspiring mix of cars and art under the night sky.
SAVOR 2025 builds on that success uniting community leaders, philanthropists, fashion lovers, art enthusiasts, and families around one powerful goal: transforming lives through literacy.
