For the Love of Books
A Launch into Literacy Lunch benefiting Reach Out & Read KC
SAVE THE DATE:
April 10, 2025, 11am – 1pm
Literacy lays the foundation for communication, skill-building, critical thinking, and dreaming big … It launches children into a future full of possibility!
The annual For the Love of Books event brings together champions of early childhood literacy to meet, greet, and eat to advance the Reach Out and Read KC mission.
Be sure to mark your calendar for April 10 — at 11:00 a.m. at Grand Street Cafe For the Love of Books luncheon. It’s the same event you know from past years — just with a later start time and warmer temps!
We hope you’ll join us to help children in our community Launch Into Literacy!
Thank you to our sponsors for supporting childhood literacy!
