We made it and then some! Thanks to all who gave in the 7pm hour. Our executive director will be joining other #BDOG2020 organizations at 9:30pm for a FB Live check in facebook.com/bigdayofgiving/…
We are just $99 short of hitting $7000 raised for #BDOG2020. If you can help us get there, you'll also be helping us add books and supplies to our students' summer reading backpacks! bigdayofgiving.org/readingpa…

We weren't expecting education to be impacted like this, but we are working to meet this moment and plan for a better future for young readers. You can help by making a donation now through May 7, the Big Day of Giving. bigdayofgiving.org/readingpa… #BDOG2020
