Goal
On Sunday June 25th I am excited to run the Brooklyn Cyclones Coney Island Classic 5K (2nd Annual Running for Little Readers Event) and fundraising for Reach Out and Read of Greater NYC (ROR GNY)!
ROR GNY works with pediatricians in underserved areas of NYC to provide children's books and literary tools to parents during each child's wellness visit from ages 0-5. By the time a child is 5 years old, he/she will have received up to 10 books from this program (so a small library) and the child's parents are given tools to be the child's first teacher.
I joined the board of Reach Out and Read several years ago and continued to be impressed by the program, pediatricians, clinics, and their collective impact on our youngest readers.
Last year, I raised over $5000, which allowed ROR GNY to provide 253 of NYC's youngest readers with books for one year under the program. Please kindly consider supporting me in reaching my $5000 goal to continue to support 253 NYC kids for another year!
Thank you!
