Friends and Family, I would love for you to join my team and get reading with me this summer!

My goal is to raise $250 - feel free to join my team to fundraise yourself or just donate to benefit the awesome work CFL does in the #Fight4Literacy - but also just to encourage people in my circle (young and old) to get reading! To spice things up a little bit, if you pledge $10+ per book (hoping for 5-8) OR donate $50 or more, you can pick one of the books I read this summer*. 🙃📚🧐

Part of the work we do at CFL is supporting organizations that provide summer intervention for young readers as a way to help them avoid the "summer-slide" (students often lose 2 months of reading skills over the summer!). My hope is that this campaign raises awareness about that tragic fact and encourages everyone to pick up a book as a stand against it!

*When you go through the steps of pledging or making a donation, at the end there is a box for you to add a comment. Put your book recommendation there or text me! I will be logging the books I read as I go so you'll get to see that I do actually read your book 😊

I am raising funds to support Coaching for Literacy’s mission to raise awareness about illiteracy and funds for literacy programs around the country. Please help me reach my fundraising goal by makign a donation! All donations are matched 3x up to $5,000!

Did you know that 66% of fourth-graders are reading below grade level? That year is so important because children learn to read up until 3rd grade and after that they read to learn.  Because of amazing donors like you, Coaching for Literacy is able to help their literacy partners provide books, resources, tutoring and attention kids need to excel. 

Let’s help kids learn to read!
