    This year, Great Rivers United Way's Bucks for Books fundraiser will benefit our third-grade reading tutor program, Read to Success.

    Designed with the educational needs of third-graders in mind, Read to Success pairs adult volunteers with young learners for improved reading scores, as well as the social-emotional benefits of having a positive and consistent adult role model in their lives.

    We’re working with schools in four area districts to purchase special sets of books just for Read to Success students and their tutors. These books will foster reading skills and expand on learning across all disciplines.

    Will you help? $5 buys one book; $10 buys two books; $15 buys three books; and so on! 

    Our goal for Bucks for Books is $5,000, and we’re already half way there thanks to a generous $2,500 contribution from Klauke Investments & Insurance Services.

    Any funds raised beyond what's needed for Read to Success will be designated to Great Rivers United Way's early childhood and youth literacy programming.
