Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>‘s LeVar Burton<\/strong> will be the recipient of an award at the Facets Boo! Bash<\/em> this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Burton will receive the Facets Award<\/em> at the gala.<\/p>\n

Burton was chosen for the award for his “contribution to society and culture in advancing dialogue and race as well as his role in teaching children to read.”<\/p>\n

“Few individuals in the entertainment industry have shown the breadth of vision and commitment to education as LeVar Burton,” said Facets<\/em> Director Milos Stehlik<\/strong>. “An entire generation understands the value of reading because of his iconic presence as the host of Reading Rainbow<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The Facets Boo! Bash<\/em> is “an annual fundraising gala that benefits the cinema center’s year-round educational programming, including the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival.” This year’s Boo! Bash<\/em> will be held October 19 from 2 to 5 PM at Park West, 325 W. Armitage Ave. Tickets are $125 for adults and $50 for children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
