Jumpstart Awarded $200,000 AMEX Prize

Thanks to your votes, your voice, and your participation, Jumpstart has been awarded $200,000 in funding from American Express through their Members Project campaign! This donation from American Express will help fund Jumpstart’s yearlong early education program and will also help Jumpstart launch a brand new curriculum nationwide this school year.

We're also busy planning for Jumpstart's Read for the Record. On October 7, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats will be read with more than 2 million children! Last year, celebrities such as Justin Bieber (above), Mary-Louise Parker, Vince Vaughn and many others joined in the celebration, and this year aims to be even better.  We'd love for you to read with us on October 7. Pledge to read today!
