In February, 2,300 books were handed out to students at Tom Williams Elementary School, and another 4,700 were distributed to 55 other schools in Clark County.
No donation is too big or small, and with the magic of corporate matches, your donation can snowball in value!
All you have to do is visit ktnv.com/giveabook to make a donation today—every $6 donated buys one book.
So be sure to tune in on September 6 and be prepared to text KTNV to 345-345 or visit ktnv.com/giveabook.
Together, we can improve child literacy across Southern Nevada.
"If You Give a Child a Book" is promoted in partnership with the Scripps Howard Foundation, the philanthropic branch of KTNV's parent company, E.W. Scripps.
