Chargers cornerback Michael Davis spent time with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro LA in Bell Gardens as part of the Bolts Book Club for Latino Heritage Month. The Bolts Book Club provides free books to students in Southern California schools in an effort to inspire love for reading and increase literacy rates in children.

The Chargers Impact Fund celebrated the launch of its new program, Bolts Book Club, at the Boys and Girls Club Watts-Willowbrook Clubhouse. Chargers All-Pro Safety Derwin James Jr. and Cornerback Michael Davis joined the club members for a special reading session to encourage the students to read 20 minutes a day. In addition, the players participated and competed in a friendly competition using words learned through the digital platform, Rhymes with Reason, which teaches vocabulary through music.

Earlier this week, the Chargers Impact Fund teamed up with PetSpace for an animal welfare-themed First Downs for First Books event with students from Lincoln Elementary School. Joined by players Cameron Dicker, Derrek Tuszka, and Chargers Pup, Brisket, the students read to adoptable animals, participated in arts and crafts, learned about service animals, and took part in a puppy yoga class.

Justin Jackson, Michael Davis, Amy Staley, and Susie Spanos visited Heninger Elementary and read to students with books donated through the Chargers Impact Fund.

At the kickoff event for the Chargers First Down, First Books program, the Chargers Impact Fund, along with Owner Alexis Ruhl and Outside Linebacker Chris Rumph II, visited The Wallis Annenberg PetSpace where kids from The Boys and Girls Club in Metro LA read to dogs awaiting adoption.

Justin Jones and Jason Moore joined two fifth grade classrooms from MLK Elementary in Los Angeles Unified School District to read sections of the book, "Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.?," and discuss Dr. King's life and legacy.

The Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund and WGU teamed up to hold a First Downs for First Books distribution and reading at Kelso Elementary in Inglewood in celebration of Black History Month.
