Story

I want to make a difference in the lives of children through Reading to Kids and like Shake and Bake - YOU CAN HELP! 

I'm hoping to raise $350. That’s just $25 from 14 people! Or $10 from 35 people, or math, math, math - you get it. 

Did you know: 60 percent of low-income homes do not have age-appropriate reading materials? Since its inception in 1999, Reading to Kids has given 177,419 prize books to children who attend the reading clubs, donated 32,813 hardcover books to school libraries, and our volunteers have spent more than 219,777 hours reading to kids.

Thanks to my Mom and Dad, I developed a love of reading at an early age, and I'm inspired by the work RTK does to instill that same love of reading within underserved communities. Please help me help them, by giving whatever you can. The more people know about READING TO KIDS, the greater their impact so please share my page with people in your community! 

Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
