Open Book Program Sponsors
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. Back to the top
