In celebration of Read Across America Day on March 1, New England Patriots alumni, cheerleaders and mascot Pat Patriot visited two Massachusetts schools. The Patriots Foundation hosted a Scholastic Book Fair at their 2023-24 Adopt-A-School, Chandler Elementary Community School in Worcester. Each student picked out three free books and the school received 300 books for their collection. Patriots alumni Tully Banta-Cain and Ilia Jarostchuk and Patriots Cheerleaders helped students pick out their books. The Patriots Foundation also worked with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Creative Minds Publications who teamed up with the NFL for the 8th annual Tackle Reading event in celebration of Dr. Seuss's 120th birthday. Patriots alumni Max Lane visited the Patriots Foundation's 2022-23 Adopt-A-School, Lafayette School in Everett, for a morning of reading and fun.
