Dear Friends and Family,

I hope you will join me in helping the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County in its mission to improve the quality of life in our community by promoting and achieving literacy.  This is our fifth year supporting the Literacy Coalition in the graduate school.

The Literacy Coalition has programs to help foster reading in children ages two and up as well as programs to assist adults in learning to read, write and comprehend the day-to-day materials they come across such as a job application, a bus schedule or restaurant menu.

The Coalition distributes more than 63,000 new books a year to Palm Beach County children and families. Please help me ensure that these services continue.

Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Together we make a difference.  You can help in two ways:

1. Join me by participating in the Loop for Literacy ride.  You can even participate as a virtual rider, never leaving your home.
   
   
2. Help me reach my goal by making a donation to my fundraising page.

Sincerely,

John Fitzgerald
