Dear Paul and Chris:

On behalf of American Family Children’s Hospital, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for including
us as part of your Reading Enjoyment Affects Childhood Happiness (R.E.A.C.H.) Program. It is especially meaningful
to our patients when they can choose a book and take it home with them. 

Your mission, “to put a smile on the face of a child in the time of need” is being accomplished as we distribute the
books to each child during their hospital stay.  As staff and volunteers go room to room distributing these books, they
have noticed the children are very surprised and happy to hear they can take a book home.

Your program of donating a book to a child in need is very commendable and inspiring.  We are thankful American Family
Children’s Hospital is able to partner with you in this endeavor.

Sincerely yours,

Julie Auenson                                                          Bridget Kelley
