Transforming Literacy in DFW!

Hello, friends and supporters!

As a proud Readers 2 Leaders team member, I’m excited to launch a personal fundraiser to support our mission of equipping students for success through the power of reading. At Readers 2 Leaders, we’re committed to ensuring that all students have equitable opportunities to thrive as both readers and leaders. With your help, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of the children we serve.

Why I’m Fundraising

Reading has shown itself to be a massive catalyst for change at the individual and family levels. Being able to read means you are more capable to learn and being able to learn means you have a chance to get a higher paying job, to make a difference in your community, and to create a better life for yourself and your family. 

Readers 2 Leaders is the premier DFW organization when it comes to family and student reading programs. They target literacy at all stages and use a comprehensive, holistic approach that leads to sustainable improved outcomes. 

I’m someone who believes practical informed work is at the heart of changing the world and R2L is leading by example. Help me help R2L continue to make a difference, one family at a time.
