263 MORE DONORS NEEDED
IN LAST 10 DAYS OF 2022!

It's the final ten days of our 2022 Annual Fund Drive, and we need your help to reach our goals before the end of the year!

Thanks to the Facebook fundraisers created by volunteers Matthew Jones, Mark May, and Alyson Beckman, our overall 2022 Annual Fund Drive total is now $37,390 from 337 donors!

This puts us closer to our goal of raising $60,000 from 600 donors within the next 10 days!

Here's how you can help us meet our $60,000 goal before our fund drive ends on the 31st:

1) Make a pledge to donate by check or donate online today by visiting our 2022 Annual Fund Drive. Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated!

11 RUNNERS NEEDED FOR THE
2023 LA MARATHON,
13.1 MILE CHARITY CHALLENGE,
OR 5K!

Do you know any runners? Are you a runner? Please forward this email to them and ask them to join Team Reading to Kids in the 2023 Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday, March 19th!

 

This is our 9th time running the marathon, and we're looking for at least four more marathon runners and seven Charity Challenge runners (the last 13.1 miles of the course) to join us in one of the best marathons in the country.

If either of those distances is too daunting, you can join us in the LA Big 5K (that's just 3.1 miles) near Dodger Stadium the day before the marathon on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

You can share this Facebook group with any of your runner friends to encourage them to join our team!

If you or a runner you know is interested in becoming one of our fundraising runners or creating a fundraising team, please email Chris Martin at marathon@readingtokids.org!

IMPORTANT NOTE: To register to run on behalf of Reading to Kids, you MUST receive from us a special web address to use when registering on the Los Angeles Marathon website.
