The grant will benefit the organization”™s flagship program, Reading Champions, providing funding for tutor supplies, books and year-end awards for the children in the program.

“The program has been such a positive and successful endeavor in the Greenwich community utilizing the efforts of so many dedicated volunteers. To collaborate with the Greenwich United Way is key to keeping our nonprofits vital in serving the needs of our town,” said Rotary Club President Sally Parris.

Reading Champions, in partnership with the Greenwich Public Schools, is a reading literacy program pairing Greenwich youth with trained community volunteers during the school year.
