News 5 Cleveland is proud to once again participate in the annual “If You Give a Child a Book” campaign.
If you donate today – Wednesday, September 4 – the Scripps Howard Fund will match your donation.
You can double your gift by giving today.
This campaign, a long-running tradition for News 5 and its generous viewers, ensures children at local schools have access to books in their homes.
Thanks to your generosity, 27,146 books have been given away locally.
This year, News 5 is partnering with Stephanie Tubbs Jones School and Wade Park School in Cleveland to get more books into the hands of young students.
You can donate by texting WEWS to 50155.

A child who can’t read at grade level by third grade is four times less likely to graduate from high school.
Getting books into a child's home is a huge way to help.
That's the mission of our "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign.
