Our goal is to raise $1000 by April 1, 2008 to support local children so that we will be able to give them 1 new book a month for a year. We are also accepting applications for grants from non-profit organizations who serve low-income families.

"This is a cause that I am passionate about because I believe reading teaches children fundamental skills while enabling them to dream about and explore places they wouldn't be able to otherwise. As a child my parents read to my siblings and I daily. I have been an avid reader since."
