On May 2, 2025, Jo Ann Gramlich and The Behind Cycle proudly donated 25 copies of Jo Ann’s Talk, Play, and Read children’s books to Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, New York.
This inspiring hospital supports children and families with comprehensive care and compassion. The donation will enhance Oishei’s Education Resource Library, be included in gift bags for new moms, and support early language development and bonding between parents and young children during hospital stays.
A heartfelt thank you to Louie and Ruby, beloved characters from Talk, Play and Read With Me, for championing this effort—and to the incredible staff at Oishei for their commitment to nurturing families during some of life’s most vulnerable moments. Together, we help lay the foundation for brighter, stronger futures.
