Nelly Furtado
Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter
“As someone who started writing songs at a very young age, I know how important literacy is. I was shocked to learn that half of all children in low-income communities enter school without the language and literacy skills they need to succeed. That’s why I’m supporting Jumpstart’s Read for the Record to do my part to help secure a brighter future for today’s at-risk preschool children.”

Lo Bosworth
Actress, MTV’s “The Hills”
“As a child, I was surrounded by great books, but for one in three children in low-income communities, a life without books is a sad reality. That is why I support Jumpstart to help bring to light the crisis in early childhood education across the country.”

“We all need a ‘jumpstart’ in our lives. My grandparents and mother were my early ‘jumpstart.’ I can’t imagine being where I am now without their support or without books in my life. I am involved with Jumpstart because they work directly with thousands of children across our country to help them succeed in school and in life.”
