SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Rizzoli’s Automotive hosted the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce Mixer on October 20, 2010, and kicked-off their ongoing collection of children’s books for donation to the Raising A Reader Program, supporting literacy in our community through the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation. At the Chamber Mixer, Rizzoli’s collected 30 books, their goal is to donate a total over 100 books. Books can be donated anytime to the Rizzoli’s locations at 2584 Victoria Ave. in San Luis Obispo and 1149 W. Tama Lane in Santa Maria.
More than 200 people attended the Chamber event and, according to Rizzoli’s General Manager Kyle Rizzoli, “People had a good time and also were able to support a great cause. I was excited to find out it brought in 30 books. Every child should be given the tools to be successful, and I am grateful we have the Raising A Reader Program in SLO County.”
Raising A Reader is an early literacy program that supplies simple training and preschool books to low-income families in our community. The program strives to prepare preschool aged children for school and lifetime success.
