Sussex Read Aloud thanks supporters

January 19, 2021

The staff, Sussex County committee members, and volunteers of Read Aloud Delaware would like to thank the area businesses that provided us with fundraising opportunities over the past holiday season.

A special thanks to Susan Kehoe, owner, and the staff at Browseabout Books for making Read Aloud one of the recipients of their holiday giving campaign.

A heartfelt thanks, too, to Christie DiNatale and the management and staff at Grotto Grand Slam Pizza, and  the management and staff at Lefty’s Alley and Eats for allowing us to display our children’s book-themed Christmas trees at their businesses.

The monies raised by these activities will help support the mission of Read Aloud Delaware to ensure that each preschool child in Delaware is regularly read to one-on-one.  Prior to COVID-19 shutdowns, over 250 volunteers in Sussex County read to children in 41 childcare centers, Head Start programs, preschools and elementary schools.
