PNC Grow Up Great Book Cleaning Session Our founders, Oregon business leaders, understood that lower literacy rates hurt individual children, and impact the future health and prosperity of Oregon. Importantly, they also believed that literacy is not just our education system’s challenge, but one for local communities, businesses, foundations, congregations, and neighbors. The proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” That’s why we come alongside Oregon’s highest-need schools to support kids and build brighter futures.
