Ride For Reading's mission is to promote literacy and healthy living through the distribution of books via bicycle to children from low-income neighborhoods. In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books per child is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. *Reading is an integral part of education, and without books it is hard to build a strong academic base. Our children need materials to read at home and it is our goal to provide the means.There are ways to get involved, of course you can donate on FundGiving or if you are in Nashville and would like to help with a delivery, here are the details:
We have scheduled our next delivery for Thursday, April 21, 2011! We will be delivering books to the children of Glenview Elementary . Like all of our other deliveries, this one will be filled with excitement, books, screaming children, and bikes! I cannot imagine you will need any more convincing!
We will meet at Two Rivers Greenway parking lot behind McGavock High School at 11:45am on Thursday, April 21, 2011. This delivery will require intermediate skills and helmets are required. The route is about 15 miles round trip and has a few hills. If you are interested in helping out please fill out the volunteer form below. GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY VOLUNTEER FORM
