Sponsorship

Read United is a year-round program improving early childhood literacy across our region. Key initiatives include Read United Day and Read United Buddies.

On January 24th, 2025, Read United Day will reach across Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Liberty, and Long counties, placing books in the homes of students across the region. Nearly 1,000 United Way volunteers will read to classrooms and leave a new book behind for each class. In Bryan, Effingham, Liberty and Long counties, every child will receive a new book to take home. This year, in Chatham County, UWCE is piloting a new program that incentivizes children and families to engage with local public libraries through exciting competitions. Using their student ID, they can access the public library, participate in programs, and borrow up to 5 books at a time. In total, your support will benefit more than 20,000 children on Read United Day!

Throughout the 2024-2025 School Year in Chatham County, Read United Buddies will connect students with dedicated volunteers who provide direct support through an evidence-based curriculum and shared-reading experiences. Your support will help expand this vital program and ensure more children receive the one-on-one resources they need to succeed.
