Running FAST for Rolling Readers
Apr 23rd, 2009 by Anna
I have decided to enlist your help in accomplishing some personal goals. I’ve been training for a 7 minute mile and think I am ready to make this run. Will you support me in this effort? I am seeking donations of $7 (or your favorite multiple of seven; 14, 21, 28…700!) for Rolling Readers. The mission of Rolling Readers is to inspire all children, particularly the economically and socially disadvantaged, to love reading through read-aloud volunteers and new book ownership. A $7 donation is enough for the purchase and distribution of a couple of books. Many of Rolling Readers books are given to kids who have never owned their own books.
Go here to make your donation. I’ll be making my 7 minute mile effort pretty soon and will update The Full Catastrophe with my result. I know this run will be a bit easier with your support.
You can also support Rolling Readers by joining Brian and me at the “Artists and Authors” event on Friday May 15th. This event at The New Children’s Museum will feature local authors and artists, great food and wine, live music and an appearance from Fox 5 Mornings News anchor Arthel Neville. Cost is $60 per person and tickets can be purchased here.
