The San Diego-based nonprofit "Reading Legacies" will be assuming operations of the Transitions Program

As a result of recent strategic planning and analysis by its board of trustees, United Through Reading is sharpening its mission and moving forward with plans for the non-profit organization to focus solely on its highly successful military program.   "Concentrating our resources on our military program will allow United Through Reading to fully direct our personnel and funding toward this rewarding program that has been so well received to date," said Sally Ann Zoll, Ed.D., chief executive officer of United Through Reading.

"By choosing to narrow our focus on the program with the most growth and success, we will regrettably no longer offer our programs for grandparents and those in transition."

The United Through Reading military program provides deployed service members the opportunity to make powerful and lasting connections with their children by offering them the opportunity to be video-recorded reading storybooks to their children at home.  Since its inception in 1990, the United Through Reading military program has served more than one million beneficiaries.
