Our Vision
It all starts with a book.
"Some of my fondest memories of childhood involve a book... The more I read, the more I learned about the world around me, which helped me become a better citizen and a better person."
- Mary Alice Demler, Honorary, Chair 2010, WGRZ TV Chair, Author-a Future
"When children can’t read, they lose more than stories; they lose confidence, curiosity, and the chance to dream beyond their circumstances...Your donation helps ensure that every child can discover the joy and power of reading—because literacy doesn’t just open books, it opens futures.”
- A. Laurie K. Brosnahan, Board Member for over 20 years,Chair, 2025 Annual Author a Future Campaign

Our Mission
“I find it so unfortunate that many children aren’t able to build a foundation of literacy, or love of reading, simply because they don’t have books available to them. That’s why I’m so proud to support the initiatives of Project Flight – and hope you will do the same.”
- Marv Levy, Football Hall of Fame
