MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State Athletics, in partnership with the Ball State Office of Community Engagement, is moving forward with the next installment of Charlie's Reading Challenge. Following a successful pilot execution with the Muncie P3 Academic Enrichment Program, registration for the educational reading program is now open for early 2017. The mission of the reading initiative is to provide a turnkey rubric for schools to increase reading acumen, introduce young readers to Ball State University and the athletics program and further institutional relations with the community.
To date, more than a dozen local and surrounding area schools registered for the 2017 winter program.
