BATON ROUGE — The Adult Literacy Advocates of Greater Baton Rouge is launching a fundraising campaign to celebrate the organization's 60th anniversary. 

The "60 for 60" campaign asks donors to give $60 in honor of the six-decade milestone. Donations can be made online, by check payable to Adult Literacy Advocates or by phone at 225-383-1090.

“We get calls every day from students seeking our help," Executive Director Gary Robertson said. "And like many nonprofits, the number of students we can serve and classes we can offer is dependent on fundraising. We hope the community will consider making a donation, volunteering as a tutor or board member, or sponsoring one of our fundraisers in honor of our 60th anniversary.”

ALA helps adults improve their education through classes like Adult Basic Education, HISET preparation and English as a Second Language.
