African American Read-In receives $10K

During half-time of Sunday's game versus Toronto, the Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation presented a $10,000 grant to the College in support of the African American Read-In. The Read-In is an annual event in which thousands of young readers from around the world come together in groups to read works from African American authors, with the mission of promoting literacy and closing the gap between African American students and other students. The Foundation's grant will be used to purchase books and other curriculum materials to support African American Read-Ins around the state.
