Cocky's Reading Express™ travels to Title I elementary schools, libraries, and family events across the state, performing unforgettable story time programming alongside our Carolina mascot.
Nearly two-thirds of low-income families do not own any books for their children. To address this critical need, CRE seeks to increase access to high-quality children’s materials and foster a lifelong love of reading — one Gamecock at a time.
December 2025 marks 20 years of CRE! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we want to raise $100,000 to provide 20,000 new books to children across South Carolina.
