The read-a-thon is going virtual again this year!

2022 GEA Read-a-thon for SARAH Foundation!

What: The Read-a-thon is a fundraising event sponsored by the Guilford Education Association to benefit SARAH's programs and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It involves reading during a specific time period and encouraging sponsors to pledge donations for the pages that are read.

Who: The Read-a-thon is open to all Guilford students in grades K-6.

How: Encourage read-a-thon supporters to visit the designated fundraising page for your school to make a donation and track progress towards your school goal. You can share the link to the school's fundraising page via email, text, and by talking to your pledge sponsors.

When: Read-a-thon Dates and Timeline

Week 1: March 21st-25th - Launch readathon. Students sign up, create fundraising pages and start asking family, neighbors and friends for pledges.

Week 2: March 28th-April 1st - Begin reading and continue requesting donations!

Week 3: April 4th-8th - Collect donations by directing your pledge sponsors to make their gift online via the student's individual fundraising page. Donations can be made online at any time during the read-a-thon campaign. Donations will be accepted through the end of April.

Donations can also be sent via mail directly to the SARAH Foundation. Please include your child's name and school in the memo section of your check.
