While popular school fundraisers (like product fundraisers) can help you generate revenue, a Read-A-Thon is directly connected to your school's mission of educating students. This means Read-A-Thons provide additional value to students and help schools reinforce a lifelong love of reading.

Thornwilde Elementary
"We have done Read-A-Thons in the past using a different system but this year, due to Covid-19, we decided to go all virtual. The Read-A-Thon.com system was easy to use and any questions/issues that we did have were quickly answered/resolved by our RAT service rep."
