We asked, you answered, and we were overwhelmed with your generosity. We not only reached our $30,000 matching grant challenge, but we exceeded it and will be able to buy over 22,000 more books for Kansas kids in 2012. Thank you!

We just need a few more gifts to meet our $30,000 matching grant goal! When a child’s physician gives a brand new, developmentally appropriate book to a child and encourages their parents to read to them daily, those children start school with the tools that they need to learn to read. Your gift will help more Kansas kids have this opportunity. Give a gift to somebody special that will make an impact on the children in Kansas far into the future. When you give a gift to KPF in honor of somebody, they will receive a certificate letting them know how many books will be given to Kansas kids in their honor! The gift will be matched until the end of the year making double the imact now. Smart Start of SW Kansas is able to impact the lives of thousands of children each year by supporting TAP-TAM in their community. You can put books into the hands of the children in your community by giving a gift today! Physicians and parents agree that Turn a Page. Touch a Mind. is making an impact on Kansas families. Help us to continue to grow this important program and provide even more books to Kansas kids in 2012. All gifts given from now until the end of the year will be matched by a TAP-TAM provider up to $30,000! Carson, Alex and Avery Kroeker were born three months early, and weighing less than three pounds each. Their parents read to them every day in the NICU, and started getting new, developmentally appropriate books from Turn a Page. Touch a Mind. at 6 months old. It didn’t take long before these little guys were all caught up to full term kids and LOVING books! Watch the video below to see more about the Kroekers and their story. We have given over 200,000 books to Kansas kids in the last seven years, but what does that really mean to families? Watch the video below to see for yourself the impact that TAP-TAM has on families every day.
