Join Our Read-A-Thon!

Join us for a Read-A-Thon with Literacy Coalition of Central Texas! Do you remember reading challenges from when you were a kid, do you have a personal goal to read a certain amount before the end of the year, or are you setting a New Year resolution to read more?

Let’s read for a purpose and support students at Literacy Coalition of Central Texas!

The Read-A-Thon works on an ambassador/peer-to-peer model, where “Readers” will set up their own fundraiser with a reading goal, and collect pledges or donations from their network.

We’ve created a Facebook Group which will serve as the community hub for the Read-A-Thon – join us there to share your reading goal, link up your Goodreads bookshelf, share your favorite books, and talk with other readers! 

Don’t have Facebook? Not a problem! Send an email, a text, or a post on another platform to let your network know you are participating – anyone can donate on www.willread.org/donate and note that it is for your read-a-thon. 

There are lots of ways to participate in our very first Read-A-Thon!
