The Open Book Program is bringing the gift
of reading to many adolescents in Chicago. We haven’t done
this without a lot of help from our sponsors and donors. These sponsors
and donors are our friends. They are also the friends of every boy
and girl who has been introduced to the power and wonder of reading
through the Open Book Program. They are the governmental agencies,
foundations, corporations, businesses, and individuals who donate
the funds that enable us to carry out our mission.
To these sponsors and donors – to our friends – we say
Thank You.
We know that you are reaping the rewards of your generosity.
