Goal

This year I want to promote and support many of my favorite charities. Some of these will be personally important, some will be timely based on world events and some may be groups I discover over this year of giving. I hope by creating this blog, donating my daily $5.00 and bringing attention to the cause, I can change the world in a good way. Please consider following my lead by making a donation to any of the groups that resonate with you.

SIT STAY READ


SIT STAY READ INC
3425 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Chicago, IL 60641

Sit Stay Read provides free literacy programs to Chicago's inner city children. Sit Stay Read tackles the serious issue of childhood literacy in a fun way by using dogs as a tool to get kids excited about reading! Programs include a comprehensive curriculum as well as an evaluation plan to ensure a positive impact. This program works because dogs make reading fun!

Design by literacy experts, innovative programs bring much needed reading help to 7-9 year old children in public schools and community facilities in Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. The organization's trained fluency volunteers and certified dog teams make reading less intimidating for the children and, in doing so, more fun.

The goal of every program is to improve reading fluency.
