The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati received a $1,500 grant from Northern Kentucky University’s Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project. The grant will be used for the Children’s Basic Reading Program. LNGC was chosen by Professor Jeffery Fox’s “Strategies of Persuasion” class as a beneficiary of this project. Fox’s class raised the money for the grant through a letter-writing campaign and the Scripps Howard Foundation matched those funds. LNGC President Kathy Ciarla was invited to speak to the class about the programs, services and needs of the network. The students then voted on funding CBRP.
