Join the party and sign up here for our March 14th "Music & Entertainment" reading clubs!

Please also join our March 14th Facebook event and invite your friends to the celebration, too.

Generous musicians will be sharing the gift of music with students at each of our eight schools. Click here to find out who will be performing at your school!

We are looking for a back-up musician who could fill in if one of our musicians has to cancel. If you or someone you know could be a back-up musician the morning of March 14th, please contact us at info@readingtokids.org.

Please support Team Reading to Kids as they run the Los Angeles Marathon on March 8th or the Big 5K on March 7th!

So far they have raised $10,192 while training for hundreds of miles, and they have just 18 more days to reach their $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.

HAND OUT WATER DURING THE RACE!

Help represent Reading to Kids during the marathon by handing out water to the runners!

Our group will be at Water Station Mile 5 at Glendale Blvd., between Bellevue and Kent St. in Echo Park, on Sunday, March 8th 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, complete the form, and sign up to volunteer!
