Jumpstarting a Good Time
June 26, 2008 | Comment (0)
Jumpstart doesn’t kid around when it comes to building literacy and helping children succeed, but it knows how to throw a good party too! More than 150 young professionals attended its Read for the Record launch party, which raised nearly $46,000 for Jumpstart and its programming.
The national Read for the Record effort is designed to build awareness for America’s crisis in early childhood education and Jumpstart’s role in solving the crisis by breaking the world record for the greatest number of children reading the same book on the same day.
While the campaign’s spokesperson LL Cool J wasn’t there (see him voice his support in this YouTube video) the party did boast a few celebs, including Boston Bruins player Bob Sweeney.
