GET LIT Thanksgiving Cook-Off 2025

🔥📚 Join the Fight to Illuminate Minds at the 3rd Annual GET LIT Thanksgiving Cook-Off! 📚🔥

Dear fierce advocates for education and champions of literacy,

The time is now. Our children’s futures depend on our action today. We’re proud to announce the 3rd Annual GET LIT Thanksgiving Cook-Off—a powerful gathering of our community’s heart and soul to feed our Elders and unite to tackle one of the most urgent issues of our time: literacy.

🦃 Thanksgiving Cook-Off Showdown: This year’s competition carries even greater weight as the Boston Police and Boston Firefighters go head-to-head in a battle to claim the Thanksgiving Cook-Off Boxing Belt! The tie-breaker match of the year will unfold right before your eyes—celebrating not just culinary skill, but community spirit and unity in the fight to empower every young mind through education.

This event is more than a cook-off. It’s a rallying cry. Every sizzling dish and every cheer fuels our collective mission—to break the cycle of illiteracy, to give every child the tools to read, learn, dream, and succeed.

🚨 The statistics are stark — millions of children in our country struggle to read at grade level. Without literacy, opportunity shrinks. But together, through community engagement and unwavering commitment, we can turn the tide.

This is your call to action. Join us at Florian Hall, where laughter, food, and fierce competition come together to create lasting impact. Bring your passion, your voice, and your hope. Because literacy is not a luxury—it’s a right. And every step we take, every dish we share, is a step toward a future where every child can thrive.

🚀 Let's , GET LIT Boston — for education, for equity, for the bright futures waiting to be unlocked. Your presence matters. Our cause demands urgency. Together, we are unstoppable.

See you on November 15th—ready to fight for literacy, one plate and one champion at a time.

With fierce determination and hope,

Alda Witherspoon and the GET LIT CREW!

THE WITHERSPOON INSTITUTE
