Help promote literacy this holiday season

 

Editors’ Note: We’re happy to post the following announcement on behalf of guest contributor Joanne Rocheford.

This Holiday season Evergreen Moneysource is hosting a book drive for a wonderful organization called Page Ahead. Please read on to learn more about them and how you can participate!

Page Ahead is a Seattle-based organization that promotes literacy among at-risk students across Washington state. To achieve this, they provide new books to children who are reading below grade level, engage parents in reading to their children, host motivational reading events, and assist schools in providing successful literacy programs. You can read more about their work at www.pageahead.org.

Evergreen Moneysource will assist Page Ahead this Holiday season by hosting a book drive. Beginning the week after Thanksgiving, you will see boxes in each of our offices where you can contribute a new book. You can also participate by purchasing a book through their online partner, Powell’s Books, or making a monetary contribution on their website. Click here to purchase a book or make a donation. If you’d like to have a drop box located in your office, let me know and I’ll bring one by. I’ll pick up the box of books at the end of the drive on or around January 9th.

Education has always been at the core of our business, and this year we are excited to promote our passion for education and children in such a meaningful way. Join us as we promote literacy across Washington this Holiday season!
