First Ever Read-A-Thon

PALS announces an exciting addition to our annual Summer Reading program—a  READ-a-thon!  Similar to a walk-a-thon, children participating in the READ-a-thon will collect pledges from sponsors to encourage them to reach their summer reading goals.  The more the children read, the more money will be raised for the children’s library!   Because of the generous support of Kwik Kopy printing, all of the proceeds will be directly invested into resources (i.e. books, storyboards, activity centers) and programming (i.e. special performers, craft days, family nights). 

The READ-a-thon will kick-off with Summer Reading at the Imagination Celebration on May 17, and a special Popsicle Party will be held on June 17th to encourage READ-a-thon participants and to collect donations already received.  At the Summer Reading Finale prizes will be awarded to all participants raising at least $25 and the top three fund-raisers will receive a gift card from a Vestavia Hills business.  Be sure to encourage a young reader this summer by sponsoring him or her for the READ-a-thon!
