Rowdy About Reading connects CSU Bakersfield Athletes to local kids

The Rowdy About Reading program is about to kick off it’s 7th year and continues to be a great vehicle to connect CSUB athletes to local kids. It’s a win-win-win-win! The kids win – they are encouraged to read and rewarded for doing so. The teachers win – they have access to a no-cost program that the kids seem to enjoy. The student-athletes win – they have a ton of fun on school visits and really enjoy the interaction with the kids. The community wins – connecting nearly 6,000 local youth to successful young adults who are, arguably, some of the most successful on the CSUB campus through a reading program.

Thanks to our always generous partners in the program: Bank of America, Bakersfield West Rotary, Subway Sandwiches, 107.9 KUZZ, The Bakersfield Californian, and B.E.T.A (Bakersfield Elementary Teachers Assoc.). We couldn’t do it without you!

Registrations for K-6 classrooms are being accepted through 10/2. The contest begins 10/6. Visit gorunners.com to register on-line or call 654-6226 for more information.
