Help Reach Out and Read Wisconsin finish 2017 strong

2017 is coming to an end and with that we want to take some time to reflect on the great accomplishments of the past year. Accomplishments which include hiring our third staff member, Amber Bloom, MSW, CAPSW, to provide assistance to clinics in the eastern part of the state. For our outstanding contributions to children in Wisconsin, we were awarded a Friends of Education award by State Superintendent Tony Evers. Additionally, we are the seventh largest Reach Out and Read affiliate in the country with more than 210 programs. Our other metrics keep growing as well:

  • We are serving 8,000 more kids than last year
  • 30 new clinics started a ROR program in 2017
  • 1,500 medical providers participate
  • More than 150,000 books distributed this year alone
  • Serving 1 in 5 children younger than age 6 in the state

As an affiliate, we are doing well but your support can help us reach even more Wisconsin children in 2018.
