In addition to riding around in a new Chrysler vehicle, one of the best activities to do during the summer is to soak up some sun while reading a book. This is why Chrysler recently partnered with United Way for Southeastern Michigan and Scholastic to ensure that Detroit area youth are given the opportunity to enjoy some summer reading.
They are putting together "Meet Up and Eat Up" events that take place mid-July until September in various locations throughout the metro Detroit area. This allows Chrysler to distribute nearly 150,000 new books to all of the children who participate.
"Donating these books is a part of Chrysler brand's mission to both help drive the importance of early education and also to ensure that those children who need lunch when school is not in session have the opportunity to receive it," explains Saad Chehab, President and CEO - Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "We hope the distribution of these books inspires children's imaginations and helps to provide them with some of the necessary tools they'll need to achieve a limitless future."1
Looking at the recent research that was conducted by Scholastic, it has shown that when children have access to books, it will boost their desires to read and their passion for learning. All of us here at All American Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Midland are quite impressed with Chrysler's efforts to become involved with such a vital program.
