What is the charitable cause you are most passionate about and why?

"Page Ahead Children's Literacy Program

I feel that all children should be encouraged to read. Growing up I was taught that reading was fundamental. Now that I'm older I appreciate my family instilling that moral in me. Reading is fundamental but it is also inspirational, encourages critical and creative thinking, builds social skills and expands your vocabulary. "

Why do you give through the CFC?

I give through the CFC because it's automatically deducted from my check so I never forget to give and there are so many great organizations that I learn about each through CFC's wide range of organizations.

How do contributions through the CFC help your cause?

Every contribution that I give to CFC provides children from low- income families with 12 new books to encourage and improve reading while supporting literacy.
