KG’s Kids was born from something deeply personal, the story of a boy who grew up believing that books could change his life. Long before Kylen Granson became an NFL player, he was a kid who found confidence, imagination, and possibility in the pages of the stories he read. His mom, Heather, made sure of that. She filled their home with books, encouraged curiosity, and taught him that literacy wasn’t just a school skill, it was a doorway to opportunity.

As Kylen grew, so did his understanding of how many children never get that same chance. He saw classrooms where books were outdated or missing entirely. He met students who had never owned a book of their own. And he remembered what reading had done for him how it shaped his identity, strengthened his academics, and helped him dream beyond his circumstances.

KG’s Kids was created to close that gap. What began as one family’s belief in the power of reading has grown into a movement that now serves thousands of students across Central Indiana, North Texas, and Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Every book gifted, every classroom supported, and every child reached is a continuation of Kylen’s story, a reminder that when you invest in a child’s literacy, you invest in their future.
