It's the Gift That Speaks Volumes

It's the gift that speaks volumes for our community's future! Just Add Kids' campaign to help build young readers via the United Way of Racine County's Imagination Librar y initiative.

Imagination Library was created in 1996 by famed country-singer Dolly Parton to foster a love of reading. All participating children receive free, age-appropriate books though the mail each month, from birth to age five.

In 2009, United Way launched the Imagination Library initiative in western Racine County. It was a perfect fit for United Way's early childhood priority focused on the healthy development of children and school readiness.

Your support of Just Add Kids' crowdfunding campaign will help Dolly Parton's Imagination Library expand to serve young children throughout ALL of Racine County. More than 36,000 FREE books have been distributed since the program began in 2009 and we want to distribute even more!

I am so passionate about being able to help facilitate providing books for kids right here in our city. Your financial support is being requested to join me and the United Way of Racine County in making a difference in the lives of children in the birth to age 5 bracket.

What a GREAT opportunity to give. Click here to donate!

Thank you,
