Military kids miss out on thousands of bedtime stories when their parents are away serving our nation. Through United Through Reading, we saved storytime for 200,000 military family members in 2021! United Through Reading is working to ensure that every military child can reap the benefits of storytime with their far-away parent. But we need your support! 

A centerpiece of United Through Reading’s presence in San Diego, Storybook Ball brings together corporate executives, senior military leaders, long-time supporters, and military families together for a special evening that includes remarks from a Military Guest of Honor, heartfelt stories from beneficiary families on the impact of United Through Reading, and celebration of military families who have forged meaningful connections through the read-aloud experience. The Ball is an important opportunity to raise critical funds to ensure all military families can benefit from this important connection, no matter the distance between them. 

Can you help us with a donation of product this year? This year’s Storybook Ball will be on November 5th at the Hilton Bayfront. We would be honored to celebrate your generosity at the Ball.
