The four-round event is set for from 1 to 5 p.m. Feb. 26 at Full Circle Venue, 1010 N. Diers Ave., in Grand Island.
"I am looking forward to people coming and playing and having a good time," Executive Director Jen Larson said. "I want to let people to know that it's going towards a good cause."
She said the money goes toward helping people read, write, speak and understand English and to help with one-to-one tutoring.
A Literacy Council flyer promises friendly competition, a silent auction, trophy for the winning team, bake sale, prizes, food and drinks.
"People who have come and played before love it," Larson said. "I like playing Scrabble, and I know some of our board members do, too."
The event will also feature Mr. and Mrs. Ron Bailey, a one-to-one tutor for the program, as judges and Steve White as master of ceremonies.
"This is one of our biggest fundraisers," Larson said. "We had 11 teams last year, and I hope to have more this year."
Registration is $25 per person or $75 per team. Registration information can be sent to the Literacy Council at 410 W. Second St. Suite 8 or emailed to literacy@kdsi.net or giliteracy@gmail.com. Deadline for registering is Feb. 17.
More information is available by calling 385-5515.
