Thank you to all the BOOK IT! readers that took part in our 2011 Read Along for Hunger
during October. Over $12,000 was raised to feed children.
Over the past 27 years, Pizza Hut® has sponsored the BOOK IT!® Program with a main goal of motivating students to read more and improve their reading skills in the process. Another goal we are passionate about is ending world hunger. Pizza Hut is a division of Yum Brands, a company that has more than 36,000 restaurants around the globe. Working together we are making a difference. Since our World Hunger Relief initiative was established in 2007, we have raised more than 85 million dollars that have gone directly to feeding people.
Once again this year, we invited BOOK IT! kids across the nation to put their love of reading to work by collecting pledges for reading. Every dollar raised by the students is going directly to feed four children.
