The Second and Seven Foundation

The Second and Seven Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Ohio, with a team of 5 to 9 employees. The foundation was established in 1999 and has a mission to promote literacy and provide positive role models for children in need. The foundation's core programs include the "Tackling Illiteracy" program, which partners with student-athletes from various universities and high schools across the nation to conduct weekly readings in second-grade classrooms. They also distribute free books to students and emphasize the importance of reading. The Columbus Kids' Book Bank, another key initiative, accepts donations of new and gently used children's books and distributes them to those in need. The Second and Seven Foundation has developed a unique book series called the Hog Mollies, which features 16 books to date, each teaching valuable life lessons. They are set to release their 17th book in the series in 2024. For more information about The Second and Seven Foundation and its programs, visit their website at secondandseven.com.
