The Reading to Kids Silent Auction Is a Success!

On March 10, 2003, Reading to Kids hosted a special event, "Spring for R2K at the El Dorado." The centerpiece of the evening was a silent auction, with over $4000 in proceeds benefiting Reading to Kids.  

The silent auction was the first public fundraising event held by our organization since we officially became a nonprofit in September 1999. Reading to Kids would like to thank many people: our donors who provided us with many wonderful items to auction off, the El Dorado Cantina in Brentwood which hosted us and provided some appetizers, DJ Headfridge who provided us with music for the event, our many volunteers who provided valuable assistance before and during the event, and our planning committee, headed by Heidi Pickman, who spent many long hours making sure that the event would run smoothly and successfully.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our continuing efforts to inspire a love of reading in children.
