Will you support RAD this March 3 for #DoMore24Delaware?

Friends and Supporters of Read Aloud Delaware,

Last year, Read Aloud Delaware participated in Do More 24 Delaware, a 24-hour online fundraising spree and raised over $8,000. This year, we have two generous donors matching donations up to $2,000!

Can you double your impact and donate on March 3 right at 6p? We are trying to win the same $500 prize we did last year - all we need to do is be one of the first 20 nonprofits to hit 25 individual donations. So if you could join us right at 6p with a donation, that would be greatly appreciated! I am donating as well and several of our board members are too. No amount is too small, or too big :)

You can sign up for a reminder email to donate right here.

We also started a Facebook event. Please feel free to join the Facebook event and invite some friends!
