At News 5 Cleveland, we believe a book can transport a child to new places, plant the seeds for future success, and help break the cycle of poverty.
Children without access to a variety of books spend far less time reading. This leads to lower reading proficiency and makes graduating high school much harder. Unfortunately, many children in low-income neighborhoods simply don't have the books they need to become strong, confident readers.
Our annual "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign, in partnership with the Scripps Howard Fund, aims to change that by putting books directly into these children's hands.
Through Wednesday, Sept. 9, we are hosting a Matching Blitz. Eligible donations received during this time will be doubled while funds last, allowing you to maximize the impact of your generosity.
You can support the "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign today with a one-time donation or a monthly recurring gift.
