Franklin Templeton Employees Read for the Record
Franklin Templeton employees joined Jumpstart’s 16th annual Read for the Record to celebrate the power of reading and support early literacy. This yearly campaign attempts to have the most people read the same book on the same day. Franklin Templeton has been partnering with Jumpstart for many years as one of firm’s key charity partners.
On October 27, employees from Fort Lauderdale, FL, New York, NY San Mateo, CA, St. Petersburg, FL and Rancho Cordova, CA, offices collectively read to over 1,100 students.
This year’s book selection, Nigel and the Moon, written by Antwan Eady and illustrated by Gracey Zhang, encourages children to celebrate where they come from, who they are and who they want to be. As a sponsor of Jumpstart, Franklin Templeton donated over 2,000 copies of the book to students and classrooms.
