The Literacy Connection is a 501(c)(3) organization that has been providing free, quality literacy services to adult learners in Elgin and surrounding areas since 1984. Adults can attend various programs such as Adult Volunteer Literacy which provides one-on-one tutoring or small group support, English as a Second Language classes, and conversation groups. The other main program, in partnership with the Gail Borden Public Library and Boys and Girls Club of South Elgin, is Family Literacy where adults attend ESL classes while their children participate in Boys and Girls Club activities. Family Literacy also promotes parenting education workshops, interactive literacy activities, and library services. The agency relies on grant funding from the Illinois Secretary of State’s Literacy Office, local government, and private foundations, and the support of dedicated volunteer tutors, an active and engaged board of directors, and a staff of five talented individuals to uphold its mission. 
A team ticket costs $100 (and include entry into the tournament as well as food and drink). A spectator ticket costs $30 and guarantees a food and drink ticket.
