FSU Men’s Basketball is partnering with Champions for Literacy to host a Fight for Literacy Game, presented by VyStar Credit Union, with additional support from International Paper, to benefit the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend.
Together, these Champions for Literacy are making sure every child is resourced and inspired to become a strong reader. Reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade is a powerful and proven indicator that children will graduate high school and be college or career-ready. Join us by becoming a Champion for Literacy and donating to the cause!
BECOME A CHAMPION TODAY! HOW YOU CAN HELP:
100% of donations will stay local with the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend and will be used to invest in quality educational materials, including books, interactive learning tools, and other related resources that will help promote and increase literacy.
