DIVE INTO READING HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!

With Dive into Reading kicking off into full gear this week – we can’t help but give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone involved for the outpouring support we’ve received! Thank you to OVER 236 volunteer mentors dedicating their time and thanks to companies like FELD Entertainment, Willis Smith Construction, the Manatee County Clerk’s Office, Sokos Social, and Insurance Time of Bradenton for giving time off for their employees to volunteer and change a child’s life forever.

Along with the volunteer support, this program could not be made possible without the support and contributions made from our Corporate Sponsors and Partners. Special thanks to Gecko’s and the South Florida Museum, made possible by O’bricks Irish Pub & Pier 22. We’d also like to thank the following organizations & businesses for the role they played in making this program possible.
