Cause

The Kids Need to Read Foundation raises money to purchase books which are donated to under-funded schools, libraries and institutions that give books directly to children.  In 2008, KNTR was able to donate more than 1,900 books valued at around $17,000.  They also facilitated a donation by the Phoenix Book Company to the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.

I admire the dedication that it has taken to get KNTR to where it is today.  I am proud to count myself one of the many volunteers for the organization.

Statement from KNTR:

The power of positivity has always been the greatest strength of the Browncoat community. We don’t just think we might be able to do something — we just do it! Healthy Giving exemplifies how the Browncoat can-do spirit leads to great things, in this case, generously using a personal commitment of well-being to reach out and give to a cause for good. The Kids Need to Read Foundation is grateful to Kazia for taking her personal challenge and using it to bring awareness and donations to our fight for childhood literacy.

Kazia, your “kindness is a strength” and we wish you success and great health! Thank you for giving back to Kids Need to Read.
