Teddy Grahams Snacks teamed up with Save the Children to provide learning resources for children, according to a news release.
The popular bear-shaped cookie company aims to combat the "summer slide," when students can lose up to 34% of what they learned over the previous school year, the release said.
The release added Teddy Grahams Snacks committed $100,000 to Save the Children's Make Summer Fair campaign.
"All children deserve to enjoy a carefree childhood, one where they don't have to worry about where their next meal, or book is coming from," said Caitlin Bolmarcich, brand manager for Teddy Grahams, in a statement. "We're proud to team up again with Save the Children, who work tirelessly to give kids in the U.S. books and resources, social support and wholesome meals."
The Fair Book Fairs booth at the New Mexico State Fair brought more than 2,500 books to distribute to children as well as a "boatload of Teddy Grahams packs," said Nikki Bracci, manager at Weber Shandwick 鈥� the public relations firm representing Teddy Grahams at the fair.
The booth will be at the Alabama State Fair next weekend as the company works to get books into more children's hands.
