We are absolutely heartbroken to tell our SRN friends and family that on Friday evening, Board Chair Jim Wolford passed away unexpectedly. At this incredibly shocking time our thoughts and love are with Jim's wife and two sons, who he cherished and loved beyond words.

Jim's commitment to SRN and literacy programs will live on. With an eye towards national expansion, bringing in new sponsors, and growing the operation, Jim's vision was changing the world through reading. The SRN board is committed to this vision and will continue to champion the power of reading that Jim believed so passionately in.
