Join me in supporting Page Ahead, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to fostering children's literacy in Washington. Growing up surrounded by books, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of reading. I believe that every child deserves access to the magical world of literature.

That's why I'm thrilled to be fundraising for Page Ahead's A Taste for Reading benefit luncheon to help build home libraries for Washington kids who really need them. The pandemic has made it even harder for kids in communities of concentrated low income to access books and keep their reading skills up—but giving kids their own books at home, that they can read at any time, will make a difference! Book Up Summer plays a crucial role in leveling the playing field for young readers.

Please join me at the luncheon on May 2 (either in person at the Four Seasons Seattle or by watching online), or consider making a gift now. Together, we can give EVERY kid the chance to read!
