Read-a-thon: For a Cause

This is a last minute decision, but a good last minute decision. I've decided that I shall be participating in read-a-thon in the name of First Book.

First Book is determined to see that all children, regardless of their economic conditions, can achieve more in school and in life through access to an ongoing supply of new books.

With the help of our partners, donors and dedicated volunteers we have provided more than 80 million new books to schools and programs serving children in need. Yet millions of children are still waiting for our help. 

Together we can make a difference in children’s lives. Together we can provide new books and critical resources that elevate the quality of education for children in low-income families.

I will donate $10 for every book I finish during read-a-thon. For every $10 sponsors donate, First Book can purchase 5 books for children in need.

If you'd like to pledge along with me, please leave your name and pledge in the comments. If you'd like to support another charity, other read-a-thoners are reading for charity too. You can see the complete list on the Dewey Read-a-Thon blog.

My heartiest thank you goes out to everyone who participates in any way.
