You Make It Happen! Participate in the Reading to Kids Annual Fund Drive.
2006 Annual Fund Drive! Scroll down to view participant list.
The November 11th reading clubs marked the official end to our 2006 Annual Fund Drive.  (That does not mean that we will not graciously accept year-end donations!)

Thanks to all of your support, we have exceeded our 2006 goals of $30,000 from individuals and 500 total donors!  Since we are still receiving donations this week, we will send out a final count later this month. 

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in Reading to Kids' 2006 Annual Fund Drive!  Your donations go a long way in helping to inspire children with a love of reading!

If you have any questions regarding the Annual Fund Drive, please feel free to contact Jessica Tritsch at the Reading to Kids office at (310) 479-7455 or by e-mail at Jessica.Tritsch@readingtokids.org.

Thank you for your support!
