Redskins Read
The mission of the Redskins Read program is to encourage and promote literacy among youth. The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation produces and distributes Redskins Read activity books to local branch libraries, Washington, D.C. after-school programs and literacy centers. Redskins players continue to read to children at area locations throughout the year and participate in the annual national event, Read Across America Day. Ernst & Young's Touchdown for Literacy initiative is also a partner of Redskins Read. Through this program, dollars pledged by Ernst & Young were donated to the Family Library at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC in memory and celebration of the life of Washington Redskins Safety Sean Taylor. The funds were used to purchase a new library book cart and will provide new books for the Family Library and outpatient clinics over the next five years. In addition, future Touchdown for Literacy funds will be used to expand the library grant program enabling WRCF to donate $15,000 in grants to area elementary schools to purchase books for their school libraries.
