IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Communi-Tea Book Club The first Catch the Stars Reading Corner was opened in August of 2006 at the Christel House Academy. The premise for this project is to provide a program that will encourage youth to read by providing books, as well as a comfortable and fun environment to read in. The foundation hopes to provide several reading locations throughout the Indianapolis area in the coming years. The second Reading Corner was opened in June of 2007 via a partnership with Indy Parks and is located at Brookside Park Family Center on the East Side of Indianapolis. The third Reading Corner opened at Riley Childrens Hospital in September of 2016. Currently, the foundation runs a FREE bookshelf located at Teas Me Community Caf in partnership with The Indy Learning Team. Over 5,000 new books were distributed in 2024. Community Book and Toys Giveaway - Catch the Stars partnered with Pacer Sports & Entertainment and Dicks SPorting Goods to distribute free books and toys to local families. Over 1000 toys and 40 pairs of shoes were distributed in 2024. Program expenses include ALL expenses for ALL progroms, summarized in this line.
