DANCE to THE CHIGGERS
DINE with CELEBRITIES
DONATE to CHARITIES for CHILDREN!
A World Book Day event ticket buys you a seat at a table with a local, national, or international celebrity: authors, artists, athletes, media personalities, local heroes, and much more! There will be 19 tables under a beautiful tent. Tickets are all general admission and cost $150 each. There are 8 seats at each table. Two seats will be filled with a celebrity and his or her guest. Part of the fun will be finding out who YOUR celebrity will be because our fabulous celebrities will draw their table number for the evening.
Enjoy a delicious dinner and dance the night away to music by The Chiggers, winner of 2020’s Best Local Band Award! 2020 was also the year that Libraries for Kids, International won the local Chamber of Commerce award for Best Non-Profit. Winning that award was a tremendous honor, but the Pandemic made it harder than ever to raise funds, especially for a newly formed nonprofit. With a lot of hard work, and some wonderful, caring supporters, we persevered and in just 3 years created more than 3,000 libraries in rural areas of Kenya.
But there is much more to do! Kenya has over 6,753 rural schools and approximately 1.5 million children with little or no electricity or internet. Our goal is to supply all rural Kenyan schools with a library. Looking ahead we have a waiting list of countries needing help and are collaborating with other non-profits to expand into Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and beyond.
It’s fun telling folks I’m the Chair of a Chamber award-winning Charity offering Chiggers and Celebrities for Children! Yes, haha I’m “chamelessy,” and cheerfully cheesy. Pretty soon I’ll probably start calling our honored guests “Chelebrities,” and if you read this far, you’ll know why.

Beaufort Human Library
2023-04-23 13:00 - 16:00 | 104 Reynolds St, Beaufort, SC 29902
Check Out the Third Edition of the Beaufort Human Library, April 23
“Where oral history meets speed dating.” The Beaufort Human Library project seeks to foster empathy and understanding across communities by offering the public opportunities to “check out” more than a dozen Human Books who will be sharing their personal stories of facing challenges and striving for acceptance. These engaging conversations will cover topics including occupations, education, healthcare, gender, race, faith, immigration, addiction, abuse, and law enforcement, among others. Ultimately the dialogues will focus on building bridges of understanding, person to person, through storytelling.
The third edition of the Beaufort Human Library will be held on opening day of National Library Week: Sunday, April 23, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in MacLean Hall, building 12 of the Technical College of the Lowcountry (TCL), at 104 Reynolds Street in Beaufort. Free and open to the public, the event is hosted by TCL; the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center; the DAYLO (Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization) chapters of Beaufort Academy, Beaufort High School, and Battery Creek High School; and volunteer community organizers. The program is funded in part with a grant from South Carolina Humanities, a nonprofit organization inspiring, engaging, and enriching South Carolinians with programs on literature, history, culture, and heritage.
Participating Human Books include Major General Harold L. “Mitch” Mitchell (ret.), Rev. Lori Hlaban, Rev. Rebecca Albright, Lola Campbell, Aki Kato, Gwenn McClune, Rodney Adams, Dana Ridenour, Ryan Copeland, Isabella Troy Brazoban, Kevin Holman, Eric Hayes, two Joseph Taylors, and others.
Beginning the event in the TCL auditorium from 1:00 to 1:30, historical re-enactor and educator Donald Sweeper will appear as celebrated Beaufortonian Robert Smalls with a brief performance followed by in-character audience Q&A. Born into slavery and later becoming the first Black hero of the Civil War and later a U.S. Congressman, Smalls is synonymous with Beaufort and Reconstruction. Sweeper has been performing the role for nearly a decade; his appearance at the Beaufort Human Library is made possible by the South Carolina Humanities Speakers Bureau. Please plan to arrive early as this presentation will begin promptly at 1:00.
Following the Robert Smalls presentation in the auditorium, all of the volunteer Human Books will be available throughout MacLean Hall to be checked out for 30-minute small group conversations from 1:30 to 4:00. No advance registration is needed. Volunteer Librarians and student Bookmarks from Beaufort Academy, Beaufort High School, and Battery Creek High School will be on hand to help guests navigate their experience.
