For 36 years, United Through Reading has ensured no distance is too great for a bedtime story, connecting millions of military family members through the simple, powerful act of reading aloud. Our story began on a San Diego pier — and this year, we turn a new page.

For the first time, Storybook Ball will be held at Liberty Station, a treasured historic landmark that once served as a military base and now stands as a vibrant community hub.

Join us for an inspiring evening filled with moving stories, heartfelt remarks from our Military Guest of Honor, and the presentation of the Audrey Geisel Friend of Military Children Award to an author whose work uplifts and strengthens young readers.

It’s a night to honor connection, recognize impact, and raise vital funds to ensure every military child can hear the familiar voice of someone they love — no matter the distance.

Join us to celebrate and honor our military families!
