IIG Partners Foundation has partnered with Kidz Rezort of Annapolis and Prince George’s County Literacy Council to provide over 5000 books to youth and their families in Prince George's County. With this school year being one of the most unconventional, research suggests students are likely to return having lost about a third of their literacy progress during the extended time away from school. Fortunately, providing families with books can make a difference! Reading for just 20 minutes a day exposes the reader to 1.8 million words a year.

We will provide FREE gift bags for the first 300 registrants in attendance filled with an age-appropriate book and school supplies.

We’re hoping to be provide each child in K-12 grade in our community that attends a backpack and school supplies again this year.
