Folks stopping by Barnes & Noble at The Grove yesterday were in store for a sweet treat. Actress Kate Beckinsale was on hand reading to children to kick of National Reading Month with “The Nestlé Share the Joy of Reading Program” and Reading Is Fundamental.
“As a mom and a big reader, I am excited to be participating in ‘The Nestlé Share the Joy of Reading Program’ to benefit Reading Is Fundamental,” said Kate Beckinsale. “Reading has had an enormous, positive impact on my life and I encourage people to support organizations such as RIF that work to ignite a child’s hunger for knowledge and inspire imagination. I can’t think of a better time than National Reading Month to encourage everyone to read.”
Throughout the year, our friends at Nestlé donate up to $250,000 to RIF through the program. You can help us achieve our goal by looking on specially marked bags of Nestlé candy and entering the code online. For every code, RIF gets $.10.
