READ TO ME FOUNDATION
"Thank You for Your Support"
​
Read To Me Foundation is honored to have the Dondino Show as a fundraising event for the Read To Me Foundation.
​
Thank you to the guests who have or will purchase tickets to support the DONDINO SHOW and the READ TO ME FOUNDATION!
​
Read To Me Foundation has joined the fight to stop illiteracy by supporting and distributing bilingual children's books to literacy charities in need of bilingual books.
​
The growing recognition that too many children read poorly or scarcely at all has prompted an increase in privately funded literacy programs.
​
Thank You for joining Dondino and the Read To Me Foundation in the fight for Literacy!
