A gift by Mel Ringel in 2004 created an endowment at Johns Hopkins University, with a goal of sustaining the Joshua Ringel Memorial Reading in perpetuity. Over time, several organizations have helped in this endeavor.

- is Baltimore's public radio station and a media sponsor for the Joshua Ringel Memorial Reading.
- is an independent day school for boys with a tradition of academic excellence, student diversity and community outreach.

We welcome donations from individuals and organizations like these to continue the work of the Ringel series. |
