Throughout March, in celebration of National Reading Month, Downey Brand was proud to sponsor the first-ever Reading With Your Reporter program, an initiative from CBS News Sacramento and Good Day Sacramento that brought the joy of reading directly into local classrooms.

Reading With Your Reporter featured Story Hour events where anchors and reporters read to students, shared how reading shaped their careers, and sparked conversations about curiosity, storytelling, and communication.

Downey Brand attorneys Morgan Liggan and Jennifer Williams joined these Story Hours at schools in Sacramento and Stockton, sharing the important role reading has played in their personal and professional lives.

Helping to extend the experience beyond the classroom and encourage continued reading, the firm also provided books for students to take home, each with a “This book belongs to you” sticker.

Downey Brand is honored to have supported this initiative and to help inspire curiosity, storytelling, and a lifelong love of reading in our local communities.
