Reading is such a fundamental part of my daily life that it's easy to overlook it's importance. I joined Page Ahead after learning about the significant impact that access to books and other reading programs can have on early childhood development and long-term academic success.

I've taken this lesson with me, and, as I spend time with my nephew, we make sure that reading books plays a major part of our time together. It's such a fun experience to see his eyes light up as we share the story together and turn each page!

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!
