Posted: Thursday, May 7, 2026 by: Rick Grafing | Category: Arts and Entertainment


The Dyslexia Education Training Center will host its annual fundraiser, “Spring Into Swing,” at the Maumee Bay Brewing Company Events Center, 201 Morris Street, downtown Toledo, on Thursday, May 21, 2026. Doors open at 5:00 PM, and live jazz from Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland will begin at 6:00 PM. Each ticket includes a serving of Ragtime Rick’s famous Red Light Chili (while supplies last). Full bar service, including craft beers from the Maumee Bay Brewing Company, will be available.

Tickets are $10 each and include a raffle entry with $2,000 in cash prizes. Door prizes will be awarded during the event, but Grand Prize winners need not be present to win. The Grand Prize drawings will begin at 8:30 PM. Advance tickets can be purchased at Baumann Ford Oregon, 2811 Navarre Avenue, or at the door on the day of the event.

While dyslexia cannot be cured, the center empowers students to overcome their disability and achieve remarkable academic skills, with a nearly 100% success rate through individualized, one-on-one instruction. The classroom is currently located in Oregon, Ohio.
