Musicians, writers, and athletes are coming together to Get Lit in support of a great cause. Several notable Canadians will take the stage to read from pieces of literature that inspired their success. Participants include Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham, the Globe and Mail‘s Robyn Doolittle, Olympic hurdler Perdita Felicien, artist and fashion designer Jeremy Laing, the Lang & O’Leary Exchange‘s Amanda Lang, and Frank Viva, the creative director of Viva & Co. All proceeds from the event will go to The Running & Reading Club, an after-school program that promotes literacy and physical activity among economically challenged children across the country.
