Leaving a Legacy
The NCAA Women’s Final Four and Phoenix Local Organizing Committee will work together to make a lasting impact on our local community and entire state of Arizona during the year-long lead-up to the 2026 Women’s Final Four.
Among a number of outreach campaigns will be Read to the Final Four, a literacy challenge aimed at creating a lifelong love and interest in reading for third-grade students. Created to support the NCAA’s commitment to education, Read to the Final Four was originally launched during the 2016 Men’s Final Four and has since made a lasting impact with thousands of students in several host cities across the nation having recorded over 121 Million minutes of reading!
Schools, teachers, and students participating in this tournament-style program will have the chance to win fun prizes and compete in a tournament style bracket for a chance to be named the Championship school.
Registration for the 2025-26 Read to the Final Four campaign will begin this fall.
