After reading books to students and explaining the importance of literacy, Dollar General and Earnhardt, Jr. presented the school principal with a surprise $50,000 check as part of Dollar General’s Reading Revolution program!
“It is an honor to be part of the celebration today with the students and staff at Blountville Elementary School thanks to Suave and their partnership with Dollar General,” said Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s 14-time Most Popular Driver and owner of JR Motorsports. “It is very important to me to be a part of this program and help provide these students with all of the tools necessary to improve their education and to help them become more confident.”
The program aims to provide schools with additional resources to purchase books, computers and other educational supplies to enhance their reading and literacy programs. Since its inception in 2013, the program has provided more than $2.3 million to more than 50 schools.
