We are proud to fund the 2026 Des Moines Public Library Summer Reading Challenge. From June 6 to August 1, kids and teens can participate in reading activities. This program alone serves 10,000 children citywide, inspiring young readers all summer long.

Hawkins, LaRue Maddox, Cole-Belin Education Foundation, George & Kathleen Kochheiser Family Fund, BWA Foundation, Polk County Board of Supervisors, and Bankers Trust Company. Thank you!
