Breakfast for Books is a fundraiser for Reach Out and Read Ohio, a collaborative program of the Reach Out and Read National Center; the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP); and the Ohio AAP Foundation.
The concept of Breakfast for Books is to introduce community and business professionals, in addition to medical care providers, to the Reach Out and Read program and model of care in a fun, yet informative, manner. The highlight of the event is a special guest reading of a favorite children's book.
Reach Out and Read Ohio is pleased to announce Clark Kellogg, CBS Sports College Basketball Analyst and former Ohio State University Basketball Forward, as the guest reader for Breakfast for Books 2010. This year's event will be held on Friday, September 10, 2010 at the new Ohio Union in the Great Hall Meeting Room, on the Ohio State University campus. Parking is available in the Ohio Union South Garage, adjacent to the Ohio Union.
