On June 1st and 2nd we served 2,000 Minneapolis Public School 1st graders at the 28 schools with at least 50% of kids on free or reduced lunch. 

Atomic Data has vaulted us into the big leagues with a $45,000 donation to our cause, thanks to CEO Jim Wolford and his team! 

The Richard M. Schulze Foundation awarded Start Reading Now $15,000, providing a great start to our fundraising for the 2016 program! We plan to serve at least 1,000 kids in Minneapolis in 2016, in grades 1, 2 and 3.

An interview with Start Reading Now Co-Founder Kevin Terrell on NorthStar Oasis local access TV, hosted by Jeff Williams. We cover the origins of the program, including how Pam kick-started it all, along with our successes to date and plans for the future. 

Start Reading Now is excited to have received $16,500 from 97.1 Cities 97, as part of their annual charity fundraiser.
