Did you know that TRC is the only dyslexia serving organization in Minnesota that provides scholarships for students to be tutored and tested? The need is so great that we provided over $160,000 in need-based scholarships last year. You are invited to help us reach more dyslexic students by making a donation or pledge during the 2024 Bright Futures Campaign.

The Bright Futures Campaign is a once-a-year opportunity that enables donors to help The Reading Center to serve our growing number of struggling students coming through our doors. Over half of the money raised goes to fund scholarships for students whose parents cannot afford the transformative services that we provide. Your donation also supports our other life-changing programs that ensure there are enough Orton-Gillingham trained adults to help dyslexic students, as well as provide support for our Best of Basics Summer Program, our Reading Readiness Program for emerging readers, underserved students in our community collaborations, and ourfree educational outreach events.

We need your help to raise $105,000 to support scholarships and programs throughout 2024. Please consider making a donation or pledge to The Reading Center in 2024 to support all of the important work that we do year-round. You can donate today by sending in a check or by donating online at www.TheReadingCenter.org/donate. Your donation will be doubled thanksto the generosity of Ginger and David Holmes and the Rochester Scottish Rite Children’s Foundation! 

Thank you to our 2024 Bright Futures Leadership Team: Ginger Holmes (Campaign Chair), Jennifer Gowin (Board Campaign Chair), Allison Benike (Staff Campaign Chair), Ann Peterson (Greater Minnesota & Beyond Friends Campaign Chair) and Jennifer Yerhot (Twin Cities Friends Campaign Chair).
