Please support Team Reading to Kids as they run the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon on March 24th!

So far they have raised $13,798 while training for hundreds of miles. They have just 17 more days to reach their $20,000 fundraising goal! If you can donate a buck a mile to your favorite runner, you'll 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.

HAND OUT WATER DURING THE RACE!

Help represent Reading to Kids during the marathon by handing out water to the runners! You get a free LA Marathon t-shirt, too.

Our group will be at Water Station Mile 5 at Glendale Blvd., between Bellevue and Kent St. in Echo Park, on Sunday, March 24th from 5am - 11am.

Click this link to sign up. Our group is Reading to Kids and our shift location should be listed in green. Click the box to the green J05 Water Station Mile 5 shift, scroll down and complete the form, and sign up to volunteer!

You can also cheer them on during the marathon at our course support booth located at San Vicente Blvd. and 17th St. from 8:30am - 1:30pm.

Please mark your calendars for a hilarious evening hosted by internationally-known Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop! See the puppet you grew up watching as she helps us celebrate with some of her naughtier "After Dark" material!

Joining Lamb Chop will be a handful of hilarious comedians. We'll also have a silent auction, a DJ, and a video presentation. You won't want to miss out on this event, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates!
