Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
We are in the final five days of the 2018
Annual Fund Drive and just $7,000 short of our goal!
So far 578 donors have given $48,015, so we need YOUR help to reach our $55,000 goal by midnight this Monday, December 31st. Here is what you can do:
1 - Donate online or make a pledge to donate by check
today by visiting our
2018 Annual Fund Drive page. Contributions of
any amount are greatly appreciated!
2) Show your support by asking friends and family to
contribute!
Visit our
2018 Annual Fund Drive
page and look under the "Help us Fundraise!"
header for resources, including information on creating your own
personalized fundraising page on Facebook, our handy
donor sheet for raising money with your friends and
co-workers,
tips for fundraising, and so much more.
3. Double your donation! If your workplace matches donations to nonprofits, please share
with them your donation, and ask them to consider matching it. In this way you double your donation and share with others your enthusiasm
for Reading to Kids!
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,
2018. If donating by credit card, the
