December 2025 marks 20 years of Cocky's Reading Express! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we want to raise $100,000 to provide 20,000 new books to children across South Carolina. Cocky's Reading Express is the University of South Carolina’s literacy outreach initiative. Cocky and his team of Gamecock student volunteers are on a mission to inspire young readers across South Carolina to get passionate about reading.
Nearly two-thirds of low-income families do not own any books for their children. To address this critical need, CRE is increasing access to high-quality children’s materials and foster a lifelong love of reading — one Gamecock at a time.
