Aug. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- As a network of eight nonprofit writing and tutoring centers that honor student literacy and creativity, 826 National is very excited to participate in Youth Literacy Day on August 26, 2010. Youth Literacy Day celebrates the power of reading, writing, and self-expression. 

Across the country and at each 826 writing center 826 National is leading the charge behind Youth Literacy Day.

In reference to the festivities, 826 National co-founder Dave Eggers said, "More than ever before, a young person's success is inextricably tied to their ability to express their ideas clearly and powerfully. We're happy to celebrate Youth Literacy Day and to highlight all that needs to be done to make sure students have the resources they need."

With mounting  pressure on school systems and parents, 826 writing centers help bridge the gap for students and families by providing free, one-on-one attention and writing help to all young people ages 6 through 18.

826 chapters are asking everyone to donate $8.26 on 8/26 to support youth literacy in their city by visiting www.826on826.org or texting "WRITE"  to 20222 to make a one-time donation of $10 on August 26th. This campaign is powered by Give by Cell and certified by the Mobile Giving Foundation. This $10 donation will be added to your mobile bill. Messaging and data rates may apply. Please visit hMGF.org/t for terms and help.
