Today, Navigant (NYSE: NCI) and author Craig Frazier announced
the limited edition release of the children’s book, Catch That Hat!
The colorfully illustrated book about the importance of
perseverance will be donated to children’s libraries, nonprofit
organizations, and schools across the globe in conjunction with
National Reading Day in the United States.
Catch That Hat! advances Navigant’s One Million by 2020
(1Mx2020) program, which aims to positively impact one million
youth by helping to improve the college and career readiness of
tomorrow’s leaders by the year 2020. The concept of the book was
developed in 2012 with the launch of Navigant’s 1Mx2020 program. As
Navigant’s workforce contributed to the 1Mx2020 goal over the last
three years, illustrations on each page of the online book were
revealed to show the firm’s growing impact.
“Navigant’s pledge to better prepare our future leaders grew out
of our passion for education, youth development, and our desire to
harness and focus our robust volunteer, philanthropic and pro bono
pursuits,” said Julie Howard, Chairman and CEO, Navigant. “This is
an ambitious goal we continue to work towards. Catch That Hat! is
just one example of how our workforce is inspiring and positively
affecting the next generation of leaders.”
Among the communities benefiting from Catch That Hat! donations,
Navigant is proud to partner with local organizations,
including:
- Kids Out in London, a charity which
gives disadvantaged children positive experiences to support them
becoming future members of our society and workforce, will receive
a donation of books from Navigant.
- Navigant will donate Catch That Hat!
books to Chicago’s North Kenwood / Oakland School (NKO). The
2015/2016 school year marks Navigant’s ninth year as volunteer
partners with NKO, where Navigant employees provide ongoing
mentoring to fourth and fifth grade students.
- Navigant will donate books for
distribution to all Boulder, CO public elementary schools through
the Boulder Valley Education Association, an organization that
promotes quality public education.
