One ticket. Two ticket. Red, white and blue ticket!
When you purchase your 2017 Solheim Cup ticket in August, you can help kids grow their love of reading Dr. Seuss and other amazing authors. That’s because for every dollar spent on tickets to the tournament during the month of August, Des Moines Golf and Country Club will make an equivalent contribution to United Way’s Read to Succeed program. Get your ticket – and ensure a charitable contribution – now.
Read to Succeed has a unique focus on early childhood literacy. From kindergarten through the end of third grade, students learn to read. After that, they must be able to read to learn. Unfortunately, right now 21.7% of central Iowa students are not reading proficiently by the end of third grade. But this United Way program is working to reduce that number by putting books in the hands of kids who would otherwise do not have access to them. Read to Succeed also administers summer programs to help low-income kids prevent the “summer slide.”
Dr. Seuss had a way with words. We have a knack for putting on great golf events. Take advantage of this ticket promotion during August and you’ll help bring great literature and brighter futures to knowledge-thirsty kids. Purchase your tickets today!
