Clemson Tigers Fight for Literacy benefitting United Way of Pickens County Camp iRock

Participating in Fight for Literacy Games 21-22

My Mission

**International Paper and Cornell Dubilier matching gifts have been met!**

Sometimes we can all use an assist, whether it’s on the court or in real life. Join the Clemson Tigers, International Paper, and United Way of Pickens County to provide an assist to kids learning to read in Clemson. Together, we are combatting the statistic that just 1 in 3 American fourth-graders are reading on grade level. That year is so important because children LEARN TO READ until third grade and after that, they READ TO LEARN.
