Won't you join me in supporting Reach Out and Read Colorado this Colorado Gives Day? Colorado kids need our help!
Can you believe that 90% of a child's brain has developed by the time they are 5? During that time, children learn how to learn - and READING is the most beneficial activity for their brains. It also helps form positive connections with their caregivers, making it an easy early intervention with significant impact.
Your donation will help support Reach Out and Read Colorado as we partner with pediatricians throughout the state to 'prescribe' reading aloud every day and provide high quality books to families at nearly 330,000 well-child visits this year.
Usually, just $300 provides literacy guidance and books to 50 families in Colorado. A dollar-for-dollar match from a long time supporter of our program means your impact will be magnified, reaching 100 families during this short term opportunity.
As you evaluate your year-end giving, please include Reach Out and Read Colorado, double your impact and make a difference for kids in Colorado!
Thanks,
Patty
