Atlanta Braves launch annual “Home Run Readers” program


This summer, the Atlanta Braves and the Georgia Public Library Service are partnering for the 2015 Home Run Readers Summer Reading Program presented by SUBWAY Restaurants.

Home Run Readers rewards students in grades K-12 throughout the state of Georgia by providing a Braves ticket and a SUBWAY Fresh Fit For Kids meal when the students read books and complete an online activity. The program will run from May 15-August 24, and more information can be found on www.Braves.com/reading.

To conclude the program, the Braves will host a special pregame party at a home game in September and invite all Home Run Readers to celebrate their accomplishments during the summer months. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female in each grade level for their answers to the online activity. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
