Char Car brings books to kids in hospitals, schools!

I ran into these good people this morning before the start of San Diego’s annual Holiday Bowl Parade. They operate the Char Car!

What’s the Char Car? A vehicle that celebrates Pokémon character Charmander, and that delivers books to kids in hospitals, schools and libraries!

Dr. Elizabeth Valles is a member of this smiling gang. She works at Rady Children’s Hospital. You might have seen her on KUSI television the other day. She was honored as KUSI Community Champion for her #ReadingonFire literacy campaigns. She and her team make the lives of children so much better, by promoting child literacy and spreading happiness.

Follow the Char Car’s Instagram page by clicking here. You can learn about their future events and perhaps even help them out!

  1. Thank You Richard for this wonderful write up about Char Car and our mission to improve child literacy. One small correction – I am standing just to the right of my husband Ron in the picture 🙂
