It's the final week of our
2015 Annual Fund Drive, and we have just eight days to find 59 more donors to reach our goals!
Donations are tax-deductible, too!
Here's how you can help before our fund drive ends:
1) Donate by check or
online today. Contributions of
any amount are greatly appreciated!
2) Ask friends and family to contribute! We've
made it super simple - just print out our
donor sheet
and start asking, or spend a few minutes personalizing and
sending our
sample email.
3) Double your donation! Ask your
employer to match your donation to Reading to Kids and double your impact.
Once they know about Reading to Kids, many will want to donate -
we just need you to ask!
Note: If donating by check, please
make sure the check is dated on or before December 31,
2015. If donating by credit card, the
donation must be made on or before December 31, 2015.

JANUARY 9TH READING CLUBS
Our next reading clubs are just 2 weeks away, so
submit your RSVP early for our "Mysteries & Adventure"
clubs on January 9th.
These reading clubs are smaller because the schools will be on Winter Break,
so
sign up today to volunteer!
Please also help recruit volunteers by joining our January 9th Facebook event, tweeting
@readingtokids, emailing friends, or any other creative ways you have in mind.

3 USED COMPUTERS, MONITORS, AND IPADS WANTED
At the January 9th reading clubs we are eager to give away a computer or iPad to one lucky kid at each school.
If you or your employer have any working computers that are less than 6 years old running Windows 7 or later, or Macs less than 7 years old, or iPads or similar tablets, we can give them to deserving kids!
We also need more working computer monitors (LCD screens only, please). Please email us at
info@readingtokids.org for details.
