Join the Fight for Literacy

  • Posted on:

FSU Men’s Basketball and VyStar Credit Union are teaming up with Champions for Literacy to help every child in the Big Bend region learn to read – and you can join them.

Together, we are combatting the statistic that just 1 in 3 American fourth-graders are reading at grade level. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP*

100% of your donation will stay local with The Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend to provide books, resources, and tutoring to help kindergarten through third-grade students in the Big Bend region learn to read.

*ALL DONATIONS MATCHED! VyStar Credit Union and International Paper are EACH matching gifts up to $5,000!
