Who Supports Us Clark County READS is an initiative of The Public Education Foundation, in partnership with Clark County School District, and Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. The support of our partners is most appreciated and is critical to the success of Clark County READS.
Since the launch of Clark County READS in 2001, many individuals, organizations, and corporations have donated time and money to help us build a more literate community. Major donors to our Library Enhancement Program have included KLAS TV-8 and the Community Pride Partners, Wells Fargo, and Ronald McDonald House Charities. In addition, we often receive donations and/or discounts from the following book publishers: Follett Library Resources, Capstone Press, Compass Point Books, Picture Window Books, and Houghton Mifflin. Las Vegas Review Journal and the View Neighborhood Newspapers generously donate ad space to help Clark County READS recruit volunteers for our Reading Partner Program. A special thank you also goes out to all of our reading volunteers for the time and energy they give to our program! A grant from the Department of Education, administered through Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., pays for 75% of book costs for our Reading Is Fundamental book distribution program. A generous grant from MGM Mirage Voice Foundation covers the remaining book costs. Though we are not able to mention all of our donors and friends on this page, we do appreciate each and every one of them. Every donation— no matter the size— helps us in the fight against illiteracy. KVBC's Kevin Janison Shows His Support Clark County READS recently announced a new partnership with Kevin Janison from KVBC News 3’s weather team. An author, avid reader and supporter of the fight against illiteracy in Clark County, Janison supports Clark County READS by hosting assemblies at schools and talking about the fun and importance of reading. Janison was honored as the National Broadcaster of the Year in 2006 by the National Weather Association, and has held the National Weather Association Seal of Approval since 1985.
