Since the 2010-2011 School Year

We have given away approximately 600 books,
per year to participating second and third graders.
Each year we have about 575-625 elementary students
participate in our reading sessions for 18 weeks.
Each Year

We have 25-30 high school volunteers.
As Aaron Johnson, 2010-2011 Vice President of the Washington
County Youth Foundation, puts it,

"We can't make a difference overnight, but we can make a difference
over time. If we can get more of our third graders reading at grade level,
then more of the youth in Washington County will grow up
to 'Live Happily Ever After'".

Did you know?

Many states plan the number of jail cells they will need in the future by the number of children not reading on grade level by grade 3. About three in five of America's prison inmates are illiterate.

Children who have not developed some basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are 3 - 4 times more likely to drop out in later years.

Will you make a difference in one child's life?

For just $25.00 per year (less than 50 cents per week) you can sponsor a child.

4. Will a Donation

Remember the Happily Ever After Project in your Will and you will leave a lasting gift to our youth. A Charitable Bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. You can create a Bequest of any dollar amount, gift specific property or designate a percentage of your estate in your Will or trust plan. If you wish to make a gift of your IRA or 401(k) plan, this can usually be done by filling out a beneficiary designation form provided by your plan administrator.
