"Pennies for Pages One-Hour Read-a-Thon" Benefits Kids to Kids and Nevada's At-Risk Children

January 26, 2007 - For many of the at-risk children served by Kids to Kids, reading one page of a book is a sign of success and a reason to be proud!

The "Pennies for Pages One Hour Read-a-Thon" will make reading a priority in thousands of homes throughout the valley. This year's read-a-thon is part of Kids to Kids' 6th birthday festivities and is being celebrated throughout Southern Nevada in conjunction with Nevada Reading Week, February 26 to March 2, 2007.

As the culminating activity, Kids to Kids is once again hosting a Children's Literacy Festival at Providence, a master planned community. It will be a day of storytellers, children's authors, local celebrities, literacy-related activities, games, prizes, wonderful food provided at no charge and, of course, books!

The Providence event happens on March 3. Mark your calendar!
