Celebrate with us & make a difference
For over 25 years, Reach Out and Read Colorado has empowered healthcare providers to talk with parents and caregivers of young children about the importance of reading together every day.
At 260,000 well-child visits each year, and in partnership with more than 330 pediatric clinics across the state, Reach Out and Read Colorado ‘prescribes’ books to children from birth to age five, along with providing guidance and resources for their families, to encourage and support kindergarten readiness and strong parent-child bonding from day one. With an emphasis on equity, Reach Out and Read Colorado provides an evidence-based, American Academy of Pediatrics-endorsed intervention to nearly 80% of Colorado children five and under living in poverty.
Join us at our Spring Benefit to raise money for this incredible mission, with the goal of one day ensuring all children in Colorado have access to this proven program.

“Thank you for allowing our pediatric population to benefit from the Reach Out and Read program. Many of our patients are living in poverty and parents may not be able to afford to buy books for their kids to read at home. These kids light up when we give them the books — their smile says it all! Again, thank you! Your generosity it is greatly appreciated.”

Boilerplate Language: What is Reach Out and Read Colorado?
We are excited to offer a new program enhancement which will allow us to begin serving our communities’ most vulnerable children from day one. Back To Birth will add 3 additional books at the 1-week, 2-month, and 4-month well-child visit, effectively doubling the impact of Reach Out and Read in the first year of life.
The program will be introduced to 3,500 infants in Denver Health clinics first, in honor of our founder Dr. Steve Vogler, and then strategically throughout the rest of the state.
