READ TO ME FOUNDATION
"Thank You for Your Support"
​
Read To Me Foundation is honored and proud to be selected by the UNLV Community Concert Band as their designated charity for the April 20, 2024 Concert Event "PERFECT HARMONY"
​
Thank you to the guests who have or will purchase tickets to support both the UNLV Community Concert Band and the READ TO ME FOUNDATION.
​
Read To Me Foundation has joined the fight to stop illiteracy by supporting and distributing bilingual children books to literacy charities in need of bilingual books.
​
The growing recognition that too many children read poorly or scarcely at all has prompted an increase in privately funded literacy programs.
​
Please join us in the fight for Literacy!
