NYT forChildren Events: Brooke Jackman Foundation Read-a-Thon

Brooke Jackman Foundation Read-a-Thon Reading was Brooke Jackman’s passion. At 23, she was planning to leave her job in finance to get a graduate degree in social work and help underprivileged children, but she was killed in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center before she could realize her dreams. This annual event, held by a foundation that her family established to support her goals, gathers a variety of participants — this year they include Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro, firefighters, the children’s author Stephanie Calmenson and Broadway performers — to read from children’s books. http://ift.tt/1lCD2gp free Sept. 12 from noon to 1:30 p.m. At Barnes & Noble 212-587-5389 97 Warren Street, near Greenwich Street Battery Park City, Manhattan New York, NY 10281 via NYT forChildren Events http://ift.tt/1lCD2gp Put the internet to work for you.
