Peaches Helping Preschoolers

Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary is selling tree-ripened, handpicked, flavor-packed Palisade peaches again this year. Our Palisade peaches come from a grower that takes immense pride in the quality and freshness of his crop. Your box of peaches can be consumed one juicy peach at a time or made to a peach pie or cobbler or served as grilled peaches. Nothing says summer like a fresh peach.

When you purchase a 20 lb. box of fresh, juicy Palisade peaches from Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary, you’re getting more than succulent peaches ready for eating and/or baking. You’re also supporting childhood literacy. A portion of proceeds from this year’s Rotary fundraiser will once again be donated to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Larimer County, an early literacy program that provides a free, age-appropriate book each month to a child, ages 0-5 who is enrolled in the program.

In addition to fostering a love for books, Imagination Library increases childhood literacy rates and promotes a culture of reading among families in Colorado. Research shows that 66% to 75% of families read more to their children after receiving books from Imagination Library and children participating in Imagination Library are 30% more likely to be ready to start kindergarten.

Help get a child excited about books and feel the magic that books can create by ordering a 20 lb. box of Palisade peaches today.
