Our Storymobile and Everybody Wins! programs have been at RIF Pittsburgh for 15 years! Last week, we gathered with mentors, teachers, and amazing supporters to honor this milestone and the impact these programs have made in the lives of so many young readers.
The event was held at the Children's Museum, where our offices are located, and included tours of the Storymobile, the debut of new promotional videos, a sneak peek at this year's "Buddy photos" of Everybody Wins! mentors and mentees, and a 50/50 raffle.
We were grateful to celebrate this moment with volunteers, our Board of Directors, the full RIF Pittsburgh team, and special guests that included local leaders Mayor Corey O'Connor, First Lady Katie O'Connor, and City Councilperson Erika Strassburger - all advocates for children's literacy.
These programs are thriving because our community's commitment to ensuring every child can develop a love of reading. Soon we'll be celebrating 45 years of RIF Pittsburgh! That's 45 years of stories, smiles, and success—and many more to come!
