Kids to Kids is celebrating not only five years of giving the gift of reading in the form of books for the valley's area children, but also five years of helping literacy causes throughout Nevada.

Focus Property Group, master planner of Providence, seeks to create community outreach programs within each of their communities that address a social cause within those communities. Providence will focus its community outreach efforts in the area of literacy and has formed an alliance with Kids to Kids.

Events will include appearances by storytellers and authors, entertainment, family activities, food, music and more. The event is free.

A "radiothon" fundraiser, in partnership with Integrity Broadcasting and KVBC, will help benefit Kids to Kids.

Prior to the radiothon at Providence, all 9,000 students in Kids to Kids' 12 partner schools will read books for one hour. The event, "Pennies for Pages Read-a-Thon," encourages individuals and companies to sponsor the children's efforts by pledging money to support Kids to Kids.
