Kids Need to Read

Donate to Tonio LoTempio Birthday Wish at Razoo

In 2011, Toni became involved with KIDS NEED TO READ, a charity co-founded by Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) author PJ Haarsma and Denise Gary.  This charity supplies books to underdeveloped areas and underprivileged children who might not otherwise get an opportunity to read them.

Each year, her cat ROCCO hosts a fundraiser on his blog and through EBAY, auctions off various items such as Castle scripts, DVD’s, autographed photos, etc.  Between these fundraisers and her participation in two anthologies (‘Every Witch Way But Wicked’, ‘Naughty or Nice’) they  have raised over $10,000 for the charity.

In 2012, ROCCO was named “Honorary Spokescat” for Kids Need to Read.   Co-Founders Nathan Fillion, Denise Gary and PJ Haarsma all have photographs of ROCCO which are proudly displayed.  Below is PJ Haarsma with his!
