Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Click on the above image to see it full size!
Our "People & Places Around the World" reading clubs are this Saturday morning and we need five more volunteers!
You can help by joining
our
February 11th reading club event
so your friends will see that on your wall.
Then go to our website and
sign up with us.
Please
tweet, post to Facebook and Instagram, and
message your friends that we still need more volunteers.
Please also
print out this flyer and post it at your
work, school, church, synagogue, mosque, or favorite
community bulletin board.
(If you
have signed up and can't make it after all,
please cancel your RSVP online immediately to make room for another volunteer.)

TWO MORE 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 two more marathon runners and one more Charity Challenge runner (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.
SUPPORT OUR
2023 MARATHON RUNNERS
HELP US HAND OUT WATER DURING THE RACE!
Help represent Reading to Kids during the Los Angeles Marathon on March 19th by handing out water to the runners!
Our group will be at Water Station Mile 9 at Hollywood Blvd & Hobart Blvd., on Sunday, March 19th from 5am - 11am.
Click this link to sign up. Our group is
Reading to Kids, so just complete the form and sign up to volunteer!
If you can't join us at the above, then donate your support!
Our 2023 runners have until March 19th to reach their ambitious $20,000 fundraising goal! If you can donate a buck a mile to your favorite runner, you'll help fuel them towards the finish line!
With every mile they train and every dollar they raise, these valiant souls help you inspire kids with a love of reading.

MUSICIANS & PERFORMERS NEEDED MARCH 11TH
Our March 11th reading clubs feature "Music & Entertainment", and we are looking for musicians or dancers to perform at each of our eight partner schools. In the past we've had everything from Korean drum troupes to electric violin players to marching bands!
If you or someone you know is interested in sharing the gift of music or dance with
our students and volunteers, email us at info@readingtokids.org.
