Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, Barbara and I, following in the footsteps of her parents, Shirley and Alan Lavine, have been active in volunteering with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County. We hope you will join us in helping the Literacy Coalition in its mission to improve the quality of life in our community by promoting and achieving literacy.

The Literacy Coalition has 13 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 a restaurant menu.

The Coalition distributes more than 66,000 new books a year to Palm Beach County children and families. Please help us ensure that these services continue. More information about the Literacy Coalition's programs can be found at https://www.literacypbc.org/

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.

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
