Spellabration Combines Adult Spelling Bee and Scrabble Tournament to Raise Funds for Literacy Action

Spellabration is a fun and competitive night that puts some of Atlanta’s smartest minds to test while raising money for Literacy Action, Georgia’s oldest and largest provider of adult education. Hosted at the Fabulous Fox Theater Thursday, June 4, 2015, 6:00 pm, Spellabration will include several rounds of Spelling Bees and speed Scrabble.

Each year close to 300 attendees participate in the Spellabration competition. Many of the region’s top companies purchase tables and send teams to compete. King & Spalding LLP has won the completion the past two years. Can your team break their winning trend?

Currently, three out every 10 students sitting in a high school classroom will not graduate with a diploma. Literacy Action, Georgia’s oldest and largest provider of adult education, builds better futures by teaching literacy, life and work skills that empower them to reach their highest potential.
