LITERACY

Reading Rally

Reading Rally events are one of the ways EWI promotes literacy in the community. Throughout the years, Reading Rally events have enriched lives by gaining knowledge, meeting a diverse group of people,  and making a difference in today’s youth across the nation.

EWI of Detroit- Windsor has participated in Reading Rally's in Detroit-Windsor Since 2002.  Over the years our Reading Rally's have made the difference to over 2,000 children in South West Detroit and Windsor. 

Other philanthropic activities of the EWI of Detroit Windsor include monetary contributions and supplies to local shelters and safe houses, including Bridgepointe and the Dominican Literacy Center, with whom we have proudly partnered since 1994. 

In 2005, Reading Rally became a part of the Leadership Conference & Annual Meeting (LCAM) experience. Academy of Leadership Alumni participants were invited to visit a local Boys & Girls Club in Salt Lake City where a new reading room had been decorated and stocked by EWI representatives and firms.  In 2008, the Reading Rally committee partnered with RanchoMirage Elementary School in Palm Springs to encourage reading among their students. Students from Mrs. Patterson’s second grade class were invited to attend EWI’s Academy of Leadership luncheon.

Reading Rally Partnerships are an excellent way get involved in the community and gain publicity since the Reading Rally often attracts television and newspaper coverage. The “Reading Rally Partnership Levels” outlines the various opportunities available. All contributors are recognized and publicized.   

We sincerely hope that you will catch EWI’s spirit of promoting literacy through the EWI Reading Rally initiative! Support from partnerships helps us create heartwarming literacy events year after year.
