Spread the Word Nevada wouldn't exist without the steadfast support of our community partners.

Barnes & Noble Booksellers

The four Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Southern Nevada are believers in Spread the Word Nevada. Not only do they serve as collection sites for the community to drop off gently-used children's books, they support our work in many other ways throughout the year.

The Engelstad Family Foundation

The Engelstad Family Foundation has been a longtime supporter of education and in 2009 adopted Ruby Thomas Elementary School. Due to their support we have been able to provide books, family literacy and tutoring to the 900 students attending this school.

First Book

Since 2001, Spread the Word Nevada has received brand new books from First Book, a national non-profit, valued at $2,000,000. These donations represent a long and beneficial partnership with First Book.

Goodwill Industries

Goodwill Industries of Southern Nevada has been a major partner of Spread the Word Nevada since 2002. They have generously donated more than 750,000 books to our program.

Lamar Advertising

Lamar Advertising has been helping us "spread the word" since 2006 with their generous donation of billboard advertising. By advertising our programs throughout the Las Vegas valley, Lamar has helped us inform the community about our literacy programs, bringing us many new supporters and volunteers.

Lee's Discount Liquor

Lee's Discount Liquor has been an enduring supporter, including the donation of a book delivery van and supporting our annual Storybook Gala. Lee's Discount Liquor is currently sponsoring the Corks for Kids program, resulting in a significant financial contribution to the cause of children's literacy in Southern Nevada.

NV Energy

NV Energy has been a true believer in Spread the Word Nevada since 2001. Each year, their generous donations allow us to add an additional school into our programs. They have also place a priority on providing volunteers, warehouse space and marketing opportunities for us.

Super Pawn

Super Pawn has been a strong supporter of our adopted schools since 2008 and has been the inspiration behind the Rebel Reading Challenge. In this program, UNLV and its student athletes partner with Super Pawn and Spread the Word Nevada to promote reading and literacy with enthusiasm to elementary school students in grades three through five at 16 of our schools each year.

The Sands Foundation

The Sands Foundation has been a major supporter of Spread the Word Nevada fundraising events since 2003. They have generously hosted our Storybook Gala every year and continue to donate weekend getaway packages at the Venetian for our gala as well as our Suitcase Party.

The Tony and Renee Marlon Family Charitable Foundation

The Marlon family is dedicated to bettering the health and education of children in Southern Nevada. They recognize the importance of literacy as a bedrock for future success and have partnered with Spread the Word Nevada to help teach children the love of reading. Their generous donation has allowed us to adopt Arturo Cambeiro Elementary school into our programs.

Windsong Trust

Windsong Trust is a private foundation for children's education. They are dedicated to helping us achieve our goal of eliminating childhood illiteracy in Southern Nevada. The generous funding from Windsong Trust will allow three more elementary schools to receive our book distributions and literacy programs by the end of 2011.
