Susan Alderman (07/28/1941 - 10/01/2023) had a tremendous passion for improving child literacy. She was instrumental in introducing the Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.) program in schools and libraries throughout Summit County, Colorado. These special therapy dogs provide a non-judgmental but active listener for children to bond with and improve their reading and communication skills. Under Susan's guidance, Summit Therapy Animals' R.E.A.D. teams received the 2022 Summit County Library Volunteer Appreciation Award.  Your generous donation will allow Summit Therapy Animals to continue spreading Susan's passion for R.E.A.D. throughout the county, including: - Providing therapy dog teams with tools they need (dog personalized bookmarks for children, books for children, etc.) to be a successful R.E.A.D. team.- Recruiting/mentoring new R.E.A.D. teams in Summit County and paying for their lifetime membership and R.E.A.D. manual.- Providing schools with any tools they need (handouts, instructions, etc.) to properly execute a successful R.E.A.D. program. Thank you for your help in keeping Susan's passion alive! R.E.A.D. has yearly been one of Summit Therapy Animals' most successful and influential community engagement programs. Summit Therapy Animals is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all donations are tax deductible. Tax ID: 27-4657397.
