Together, We Can Help Kids Dream Bigger!
15 Years of Impact. The Next Decade Starts With You.
We are excited to launch our 15th Anniversary Impact Campaign with a goal of raising $200,000 to build the next decade of impact. As we celebrate 15 years, we will honor the stories of educators, students, families, and communities who have shaped our journey while looking ahead to what is possible. Together with donors and supporters who believe in our mission, we can expand access to books, strengthen early literacy, and provide educators with the resources and support they need to help young readers thrive across the communities we serve.
I am passionate about this work because I truly believe every young person deserves the chance to discover what they’re capable of—and sometimes something as simple as the right book, an adult who believes in them, or an opportunity to step up and lead can change the direction of a young person’s life. That’s what I love about TLRN. We’re not just putting books into kids’ hands; we’re helping them build confidence, find their voices, and begin to see possibilities for themselves that they may not have seen before. Serving as Board Chair has given me the opportunity to see the impact of this work up close, and it’s why I’m personally asking people I know to join me in supporting our 15th annual campaign. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us reach another student, support another educator, and give another young person the opportunity to believe a little bigger in what their future can be.
