Literature for All of Us will be hosting its first-ever Read-a-thon to support its award-winning book group program. They are asking individuals and community groups to support its Reach for the Stars! campaign, held February 1 through March 31.
Participants can register online for the event ANY time during February and March. It is an easy and fun commitment, using the Internet. Each participant creates their own personal fundraising page announcing their pledge to read a certain number of books during the Read-a-thon. They then ask their family, friends and associates to sponsor them. All donations can be made online. It’s quick, simple and safe.
