$1500 Donation Launches “Wishbone Fund” for R.E.A.D.

Usha Saxena and her family were devastated when Wishbone, their five-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, died suddenly. In his memory, Saxena and her friend Beth Biegler gave a $1500 donation to HVHS Visiting Pets.Because Public Television has made the name Wishbone synonymous with children’s literacy, we will be using this generous donation to support our program’s Reading Education Assistance Dog®(R.E.A.D.®) activities.

The "Wishbone Fund" will honor the memory of Usha Saxena's Lab by financially supporting the training of our R.E.A.D. teams as well as providing books and reading encouragement give-aways such as bookmarks and reading puppets for the children who read to our dogs in schools and libraries.
