This family-friendly event is the perfect opportunity to stay active and engaged while supporting early literacy in Volusia County! Walk or run to support the need for increased early literacy rates and access to books in your community.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Volusia is a free book-gifting program available to children birth to five years old in Volusia County at no cost to their family. Each month, the program mails one high quality, age-appropriate book to the child. It is fully funded by donations from generous community members.
For families in our community who cannot afford books or have lost access to literacy due to unfortunate circumstances (unemployment, low-income, domestic abuse, etc.), this is an invaluable program.
All proceeds from this event will benefit the more than 3,600 local Volusia County children this program serves.
