Radians donation boosts literacy programs in the Mid-South
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Radians®, a top-tier Memphis-based PPE manufacturer, recently demonstrated its dedication to the community by donating to Literacy Mid-South.
This meaningful contribution will help unlock the power of reading for individuals of all ages and backgrounds across Memphis and the Mid-South, opening doors to brighter futures and lifelong opportunities. To improve reading abilities, the donation will support various literacy programs, providing crucial resources, free books, and face-to-face tutoring opportunities.
'Radians' contribution to Literacy Mid-South isn't just about giving money,' said Radians CEO Mike Tutor. 'Improved literacy leads to personal success, better education, stronger job opportunities, and higher earning potential. It's about empowering people and building a more thriving and prosperous Mid-South. We're very excited to partner with a local organization like Literacy Mid-South that shares our commitment to helping others grow,' said Tutor.
In addition to the financial donation, Radians Sr. MarCom Specialist and local author Mary Padron is donating 40 paperback copies of Christmas Fairy Tale to Literacy Mid-South. These uplifting children's books will go to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital to bring joy and inspiration to young patients spending the holidays there. 'Reading is one of the most important skills a person can have,' said Padron. 'It shapes how we learn, communicate, and navigate the world. Without the ability to read, it's harder to succeed in school, at work, and in life. That's why supporting literacy is so important to us at Radians.'
