On behalf of the children, parents, and other family members served, Thank you!
"This is priceless. It touches my children, unlike other means. Anytime they pick up a book they will remember that I took the time to care enough to read to them, together. Please continue to bring our kids a smile."
Father reading to two sons and two daughters.They have been apart for 4 years.

“The McBeth Foundation acts from both the heart and the head. Reading Legacies has demonstrated that it’s a good steward of donor money and there is an imminent need for your mission in our community and for the good work it provides to individuals and families.

The McBeth Foundation wishes to be associated with Reading Legacies and the emotional impact and personal connection it has established with those in need. Continued success in your endeavors.”

“Ted and Audrey Geisel both supported ways to encourage literacy. Taking the time to read a story to a child at bedtime. Finding a way for a parent and child to share some time with each other. You at Reading Legacies are promoting that connection and we feel you are doing a wonderful job.”
Claudia Prescott President, The Dr. Seuss Foundation
