SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The Santa Cruz Warriors in partnership with Santa Cruz City Schools will launch a fourth annual "Read to Achieve" season, presented by Kaiser Permanente, the team announced today.

During the 2014-15 campaign, seven elementary and middle schools in the Santa Cruz City School District read more than 300 million words. Since the program's inception during the inaugural 2012-13 season, Santa Cruz City School students have read over 1 billion words.

The players and coaches will participate in reading rallies, school assemblies, and basketball clinics to create excitement around reading.
