Sponsorship Opportunities
Each year we host two signature events
which bring in more than one-third of the funds we need to buy over 65,000 books each year and train medical providers to administer our program.
Sponsors enable us to host these fun events and build literacy in our community. Sponsorships are for everyone — individuals, organizations and businesses. Learn about our sponsorship levels and benefits (PDF).
Please consider sponsoring one or both of our events! Questions? Please contact us at reachoutandread@kumc.edu or 913-588-3073.
