Among organizations working to break the cycle of poverty through education, you would be hard pressed to find a more noble, effective and uplifting organization than The Reading Connection.

—Joe Wallace, Carr Workplaces

I donated to you all because reading is the cornerstone to learning and I want to help ensure that more kids have the opportunity to learn and enjoy.  My fund, The RunningBrooke Fund, operates through ACT for Alexandria.

—Brooke Curran, The RunningBrooke Fund

We are both happy to help The Reading Connection as part of our wedding celebration. Picking out books for you all was the more fun than picking out dresses or shoes! 

—Juliana Pearson

We are glad to provide matching funds to inspire TRC’s Volunteer Outreach Committee to reach its $10,000 goal.  It is an example of TRC’s ingenuity in building volunteer capacity and donor support.

—The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation

This wonderful organization introduces children to the joy of reading, a pleasure that can last a lifetime and can be an escape to anywhere.  New Horizons is delighted to be part of The Reading Connection’s community support

—Paul Giordano, New Horizons Computer Learning Centers

As a businessman, I'm interested in results, and I support TRC because it's effective at achieving its mission. I've supported my share of groups, and none had a more professional, committed staff or a more invested army of volunteers.

—John Hellerman, Hellerman Baretz Communications

In 2005 and again in 2009, The Reading Connection was one of our featured charities, chosen after financial and program review by independent community reviewers.  TRC is truly "one of the best" small charities in the area.
