Damon Priddy State Farm Sponsors Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for the Month of March in Partnership with United Way of Central Illinois

Damon Priddy Insurance & Financial Services - a State Farm Agency is proud to partner with the United Way of Central Illinois and its sponsorship of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for the month of March, reinforcing the agency’s continued commitment to education, literacy, and community investment.
 
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a globally recognized literacy initiative founded by Dolly Parton that provides free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five. Each month, enrolled children receive a new book mailed directly to their home, helping families build personal libraries and nurture a love of reading from an early age.
 
Since launching the program, the United Way of Central Illinois has provided more than 275,000 books to local children in Sangamon and Menard counties. Through this March sponsorship, Damon Priddy State Farm is helping ensure that more children in the Springfield area have access to books during their most formative years of development.
 
“As an agency, we believe protection goes beyond insurance policies,” said Damon Priddy, CEO & Agency Owner. “Investing in early childhood literacy is investing in the long-term strength of our community. When children have books in their homes, it creates opportunity — academically, socially, and economically. We’re honored to support a program that makes such a meaningful difference for local families.”
 
Research consistently shows that early exposure to reading significantly improves kindergarten readiness, vocabulary development, and long-term academic outcomes. Community outreach has long been a pillar of the Damon Priddy State Farm mission. From supporting local schools and nonprofit organizations to hosting educational initiatives and volunteer efforts, the agency strives to make a positive, lasting impact beyond the walls of its office.
 
“Supporting Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is not just an investment in books—it's an investment in the future of our children and our community. By Damon’s agency being a “Once Upon a Month” sponsor, they are helping foster a love for reading, building creativity, and learning from the very first page. Together, we are empowering the next generation to dream bigger, imagine more, and build a brighter tomorrow”, said Marne Fauser, CEO & President of the United Way of Central Illinois.
 
“Strong communities are built on opportunity,” Priddy added. “If we can play a small role in helping a child fall in love with reading, that’s something worth celebrating.”
