Books for Kids Fall 2008 Read-A-Thon
Books for Kids is please to announce our Fall 2008 Read-A-Thon
Open a Book and the World Opens
Books for Kids is asking our schools, students and their families to participate in a very special event. On Monday, October 20, 2008 we will launch our Read-A-Thon city and boro-wide with the NYC Public Schools. Over 1400 schools will be invited to participate. Children and their families will be encouraged to sit quietly together to read, listen and learn. Young children who are not yet reading may also be involved by having a parent, sibling or caregiver read to them.
Please join Books for Kids and our special guests The Sesame Street Workshop. Your sponsorship dollars will help us to erase the boundaries in education for all children.
Funds raised will benefit Books for Kids and The Fund for Public Schools. Please contact Books for Kids to become a corporate or private sponsor of our Read A Thon.
The mission of The Books for Kids Foundation is to promote literacy among all children with a special emphasis on low-income and at-risk preschool-aged children. Books for Kids creates libraries, donates books, and partners with renowned literacy programs. We touch so many lives and reach so many children who have no voice and little access to the very things they need to be successful later in life.
Reading opens paths of imagination and expands a child’s world in many ways. We know that children who possess strong literacy skills perform better in school, achieve higher grades and move on to higher education.
Low literacy levels are closely linked to poverty, welfare and unemployment. Over one million children drop out of school each year costing our nation over 240 billion dollars over their lifetime in lost earnings, foregone tax revenues and expenditures for social services. Books for Kids seeks to eradicate the disparity in opportunities for all children.

This year we are planning a benefit event for local area teens to raise the much needed funds as well as autism awareness. We are working to benefit the national autism organization, Autism Speaks.

We are also planning to raise funds for Autism Speaks through a special fashion event.
