Help my team win!
Reach Out and Read provides books and training to doctors and clinics, especially in marginalized communities. Every time a child visits their doctor from 6 months to five years, they receive a brand new book. Our latest initiative is making sure that our books are diverse, so that children can see kids just like themselves in their favorite books.
I am partnering with a fantastic clinic, Downers Grove Pediatrics. If my team raises the most money, Downers Grove will win a $2,000 gift certificate from All About Books! If my team has the MOST DONORS, the clinic will get a $1,000 gift card. (If we don't win, don't worry, this clinic will still receive some books - we aren't heartless - but I really think we have a chance here!)
If you are anything like me, you are sick of screens - you are done with reading books online and BEYOND done with screen time. I'm sure many families feel the same and are craving some good, high-quality childrens books to hold, or chew, and interact with. Help me make sure we can give as many books as possible to kids across Illinois this summer.
A donation, in any amount, will help me get one step closer to winning!
Help Downer's Grove Pediatrics WIN - here is a little bit more about this amazing clinic from pediatrician Dr. John Cabana:
"Reach Out and Read has been a focus of Downers Grove Pediatrics for over 21 years (since 1999). My first exposure to ROR was during my residency at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn. I continued the program over the years because I saw how much it adds to the care of the children we serve. We have decorated the clinic with well known children reading classics. Our clinic logo features a book. We have hosted a US congressional representatives who read to the children in our waiting room. We hope to continue the ROR mission of making reading a part of child's healthy development."
