2018 SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL
Get involved in a fun, family event happening at the Grand Hotel Marriott Resort. On Saturday, May 5, the Alabama Chapter-American Academy of Pediatrics will host its fifth annual Grand Pediatric Pentathlon to benefit Reach Out and Read-Alabama. The last four events have raised over $42,000 for Reach Out and Read-Alabama and the program sites throughout the state that are not only providing books, but also giving Alabama’s children a foundation for success. Learning begins at birth, and the first five years offer a critical window for brain development. Frequent exposure to words through reading aloud, talking, singing, and rhyming helps young children develop language skills that serve as the foundation for all learning, and fosters a love of books that will last a lifetime. By teaching parents to read aloud to their babies and toddlers, Reach Out and Read’s doctors and nurses play a key role in ensuring the healthy development of our state’s youngest children. During the Chapter’s 2018 Spring Meeting to be held May 3 - 6, participants (attendees, family members and vendors) will have the opportunity to register and participate in five events ~ biking, kayaking, fun run/walk, swimming and reading ~ designed to take advantage of the myriad of activities at the resort. We know that children are our future and in order for them to have the brightest one possible, they must be prepared to learn. We hope you will join us in creating this opportunity for all of Alabama’s children with your sponsorship of the fifth annual Grand Pediatric Pentathlon.
