Need
a Tax Deductible
Donation? |
The
AAP-CA3, a non-profit 501(c)3 is able to accept book money for
sites and provide a tax deductible receipt. Sites that do not
have this non-profit status can have donors send a check to
the AAP- CA3 indicating that this money should be set aside
for a particular site. After purchasing books sites can send
us an invoice which we will deduct from their account. Or
sites can participate in bulk book buying with the
collaborative and use the money in their account. There is no
charge to sites for this
service. |

 RORSD
Visits Washington, DC
Each
year, National ROR helps organize a special day in Washington
DC, during which ROR advocates from around the country join
together to educate our representatives in Congress about
Reach Out and Read and the legislation that impacts its
funding. We are glad to be represented this year by Dr. Bron
Anders, as well as Roya Yasharpour, from California Reach out
and Read. This year, the event was held on February 27th. Dr.
Anders visited offices for all of the legislators in San Diego
as well as going the extra mile to visit many other
legislators from California. We thank Dr. Anders for her
efforts and dedication. These contacts are important in making
our representatives aware of the success of Reach out and
Read, the hard work of the pediatricians who participate in
Reach Out and Read, and the progress of our
collaborative. |
