Unlocking Literacy, One Mystery at a Time

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

As a child, I was captivated by the adventures of Nancy Drew. Her stories sparked my imagination and instilled in me a lifelong love of reading. Those books didn’t just entertain me—they opened doors to curiosity, confidence, and learning.

That early joy of reading is what fuels my passion for literacy and education today. I believe every child deserves the chance to discover the magic of books and the power of their own voice.

By supporting this early literacy organization, you're helping children build the foundation for a brighter future—one story at a time.

Thank you for joining me in this mission.
