It was a great success as well as all the other years! We are so thankful for this opportunity that your company gives us. We look forward to doing business with you again next year!

Our Read-A-Thon was very successful! Started off with some organizational hiccups - 2 teachers were left out of our shipment and had a glitch with student info pulling correctly on a tracking page - other than that, very easy to manage and the kids had a blast. Thank you!

Read-A-Thon was an amazing experience. The students had so much fun and our students were so excited about reading! We surpassed our fundraiser goal and it was so easy! The program is so organized and carefully planned out. The read-a-thon team is available to answer every question along the way. We will definitely host another read-a-thon next year.

Thanks. The process was great overall.

It has been another fantastic year for our Read-a-thon!

Another successful Read-A-Thon for Campbell Elementary! We love the focus this fundraiser puts on education and the simplicity of running the Read-A-Thon.

Great success. Easy, easy! Once suggestion would be to allow readers to donate a percentage of their donations for the online store to go back to school.

We love the Read-A-Thon. Our students read over 200,000 minutes and raising money while doing so is just icing on the cake. This is the easiest and most rewarding fundraiser our school has ever done. Thank you!

This may be available already but an FAQ would be great to have regarding simple questions. Overall we had a great experience so far with this fundraiser and we will certainly do it again!! Thank you.

This was an amazing experience! We are thrilled with how easy it was to use the site and how it was all set up. The only issue we ran into was the site lagging behind causing people to add double minutes by clicking to many times. This was important as we were running a contest for most minutes read. Other than that it was wonderful!

This was Gordon Elementary's first ever Read-A-Thon and we could not be more pleased. The fact that the program was all online is a huge plus and the personalized material made the program easy to launch. We had about 70% participation from our students which makes this a great start for our first year! As a school we were able to focus on the reading aspect as we tied this into our school book fair - fantastic. There were some learnings along the way, but again - that's to be expected for the first year. Thank you for all quick responses to our questions and for helping us run a successful event!

Great support. Thank you for being there for us to answer all our questions and to walk us through everything.

This Read-a-thon was awesome and the results created an amazing experience that will be very memorable and rewarding! Our Teachers, Readers, Parents, and Sponsors loved how their reading habits picked up, not just for prizes and rewards, but also to pick up a random book and immerse their imaginations in travel, animal life, and stories they could relate with. Overall, Read-a-thon was one of the best fundraisers we’ve ever done, and will do again. Thank you Kari for being with the Kyrene de la Esperanza PTO throughout this event!!! The only complaint during this event was some had payment issues, and some resolved those issues on their own and others just gave up. We would like to understand why and how to overcome these problems in the future.

Our school had a great experience and it was a success!

It went well. Everyone was very helpful and answered our questions. It will be helpful from the back end to search students individually and also have pages with total reading minutes for the entire school.

It was a good year again! We did better last year, but Hurricane Irma definitely hindered our fundraising. We will do a Read-A-Thon again next year!

This is our 2nd year. What an easy and great fundraiser!

Our read-a-thon was much more successful this year over last year. 

This was a fun and easy fundraiser! Thanks so much for your assistance. We raised money for our school while the kids did what they love to do....READ!

This was our first time doing a read-a-thon at our school, and it was a great success! To promote literacy and a love for reading, AND raise funds for our school, is a winning combination!

Love how easy the read-a-thon is to facilitate in our elementary school.

This was a fabulous fundraiser. I appreciate how all of the papers came grouped together by teacher. Super easy!!

We had hoped to reach $15,000

Our Read a Thon was a huge success once again! Thank you so much for the opportunity to encourage reading AND raise money. It's a win-win situation because all students can participate even if they are unable to collect donations.

This was a GREAT 1st Read-a-thon!! Thank you so much for all the printouts and videos. The only thing that I would suggest would be a Thank You letter that could be printed after the event to send to parents and also a printout that promotes the gifts that the kids get. Many of our parents did not understand this part and a printout would have been wonderful. Thank you all so much!!

I think our first time doing the Read-a-thon went fairly well. The website is simple to use and we love having the ability for our students to collect online donations. We also really like getting away from the pledge and then collect model. Knowing that when the fundraiser is over, it is over and we know how much we have is a great feeling. No more hounding parents and supporters to send in their pledged amount.

Love the Read-A-Thon. 

This was a great experience overall! We'll definitely use you again. The only feedback we have to offer would be to improve the quality and age appropriateness of the prizes. There really wasn't anything for the older kiddos.

This was a phenomenal read-a-thon process. So thankful for all of the assistance I received learning how to use your program. Our teachers and students are so thankful for how much Read-a-thon has done for our school, Leo Croce!!

Read-a-Thon offers a lot of support and the dashboard makes it very easy to use. The mobile sites are very functional as well.

Went really great!! Several thing surrounding kids inflating their hours read that I would like to change. The edit your reading sessions should be only the dates that our even is going on they should not be able to add dates prior to when our event starts. Additionally, we should be able to limit the amount of hours read per day. Also, their edits/and daily entries should have timestamps on them so that we can see when they entered and if they sat down one day and entered extra reading for the past week or two. When you have prizes at the school for reading minutes and you have little to no way to verify cheating it can create a challenge.

The whole program went really well. We were very happy with the process.

The read-a-thon went very well. This was our first year doing it and it exceeded our expectations. The program it very easy to set up and use. We will be making this an annual fundraiser for our school.

We raised over $10,000.00 for our school and the kids had a great time competing for most minutes read. Our kids read close to 200,000 minutes for the 10 day period which exceeded our goal of 100,000. This was a great program and a very easy fundraiser to conduct.

We enjoyed using this website to promote, communicate and excite our Readers. I would like the option to customize and select our Minimum donation. The global $10 reduced our total sponsorship and in California things are so expensive and with the % taken by Read-a-thon we need to generate funds of over $10K. I would like reports to identify emails successfully sent. I would like to maintain dual emails, as we have cases where grandparents are involved in the caring of the kids during the day or parents are divorced as well and need dual communication. Thanks again!

The Read-A-Thon is the simplest and most effective way to hold a fundraiser! The staff are very helpful and go above and beyond to help any school be successful. Don't use any other company but them!

This was our school's first year to participate in Read-a-thon and it has been a great experience! Your computer system is very user friendly - for the administrator, teachers and readers. One of the great things about this fundraiser is that you can raise thousands of dollars with just one volunteer, the administrator. Most other fundraisers our school has done in the past require a lot of volunteers to raise an equivalent amount of money. The parents and family members of the readers also love the fact that children are learning while they raise money. Thank you!!

This was such an easy fundraiser. Everything is so easily laid out.

The most exciting part was to see the current status of the effort. It helped us stay motivated to reach our school goal. Wich we did!

We met our goal! The kids read more than we ever imagined and we were kinda surprised that we raised as much as we did!

We loved our experience with Read-A-Thon! Thanks for making fundraising so easy!

This was our second Read-a-Thon and we loved it! So easy and the support we received was wonderful! The only suggestion we would have, is adding a line about accepting cash donations at school that can be credited to reader accounts.

We enjoyed the Book-A-Thon! We met our goal and the students loved the reading sessions. This was our first Read-A-Thon and we brainstormed ideas to help us be even more excited next year.

We had a very positive experience with this Read-A-Thon and will plan to do it again next year!

Love this easy to use fundraiser. I highly recommend other schools to use this read-a-thon program

I think that the read-a-thon went really well over all. I had a few kids who had issues logging their minutes, but they were few and far between. I think that the cash donations we receive should be totaled and then deducted from what is sent to us, instead of requiring a credit card or check to make the donation. It just seems like a lot of work on both ends to manage that.

This was our first year doing a Read-a-thon, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. It was easy to setup and communicate with teachers and readers. It would be great if there was a way to set multiple goal settings for each student, class, or school in regards to how many minutes to read or how much to raise.

I have been pleasantly surprised at how well our read-a-thon did at our school. We had approximately 38% of students participate. We exceeded my personal goal of $5800. The staff was great to work with and the supplies were awesome. This is by far the best fundraiser I’ve personally contributed to. We are changing of the guards this year at our PTO, but I would chair this event again in a heartbeat for our school.

Our Read-A-Thon was such an awesome experience. The students had so much fun and were so excited about reading! We doubled our fundraiser goal and it was so easy! The program is so organized and carefully planned out. The Read-A-Thon staff is always on hand and available to answer any question we had along the way. We will definitely host another Read-A-Thon next year.

This program made our read-thon so much easier to manage!

Our Read-A-Thon went really well! The Read-A-Thon folks were super helpful anytime I had a question and answered really quickly. Also we got started really late (*I* got started really late), and they shipped out materials ASAP to get us going. Super customer service. Thanks!

Thank you for the support around the READ-A-THON. It was a great experience and fun to watch the students work as a class around their goals. It would be great to have sample prizies to show students.

This fundraiser was so simple to facilitate and easy to track. It was a welcomed change to selling the same items over the years. Not to mention, we raised just as much money! Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the read-a-thon very much, and plan on participating again next year. Thank you!

Everything ran smoothly.

Amazing fundraiser

This was the first fundraiser I’ve ever run by myself. I was shocked by how easy Read-a-Thon.com made it. The website interface was easy to understand and user-friendly. I would definitely recommend using Read-a-Thon.com to raise money for our school.

Our school loved our Read-a-Thon! We are pleasantly surprised with how much money we raised in just two weeks. The communication through the website (especially the reports) was fabulous as was the color-copied personalized materials that were provided for each student. We could not have asked for anything more and plan on doing this again next year for our Read Across America Celebration in March. Thank you!!!!

This was the easiest fundraiser ever!

It was a great experience again. We did it in correlation with Virginia Reads One Book which worked well. You all do a great job of making this program user friendly. We personally thank you so much for helping our school earn much needed funds in a time that other funds are very limited.

Our school absolutely loved this Read-a-Thon! We are very excited about the money that was raised for our school. We look forward to having another Read-a-Thon next year. Thank you!!

Love it, easy to use, administer, get people involved. Families love it too

We were very pleased with the Read-a-thon!!! The classes had contests with each other. A very fun program. I had a lot of questions and your staff was amazing. We will be doing this every year and probably twice a year from now on.

This was the first time Sherman Elementary PTSA participated in the Read-A-Thon. What a great way to raise money for the school and not have to sell chocolate. Sherman will most definitely be raising money with Read-A-Thon next year. The support and staff were amazing! Sincerely, Jenny Boyle Sherman Elementary PTSA President

It was great!

Thank you for providing an easy to implement platform for raising money! It was pleasure working with all of you. I enjoyed the ease of gathering and sharing data for each class and each reader. Thank you again!

It was super easy and it was great way for parents and families to support the school readers! It is our biggest fundraiser of the year!

You made doing the Read-a-thon very easy and it was user friendly. We had a great experience and did well our first time. We will be looking into continuing this every year!

Great experience! So easy and super positive feedback from our school families!

We absolutely loved hosting our Second Annual Read-A-Thon! I do know that we had a lot of technology difficulties towards the beginning. The one suggestion is that when the timer is done, there should be a bell or some kind of sound to show that time is up.

It has been great! We've raised 3,000 and have only had to read to do it! Hoping we can get a bit more in the next week or so. I won't be the librarian next year so I don't know if they will do it again, but I hope so!

Really love this fundraiser! Easy to do and the split is fantastic.

Entering a reading session was confusing because of the two reading session tabs. It would be helpful if the texting option to ask to donate specifically said to enter your own cell number, not those you wanted to donate. Overall, this is a great fundraiser and super easy to run! Thank you!!!

This is such an easy fundraiser for the school and contributors. The online pages and social media ease make donations easy!

This was our first read a thon and it was easy to navigate and made fundraising so easy!

Very easy way to raise money and promote reading!

This Read-a-thon was such a low stress fundraiser. The staff was awesome to work with when I had questions! Thank you for an amazing fundraiser for our school!

It was really fun watching all the donations come in and seeing the reading minutes go up. It was lots of fun.

The Read-A-Thon was a wonderful experience in our school. There are a few things that I would have preferred be different, but they're not necessarily a "fault" of the Read-A-Thon corporation. 1) Most of the materials are strongly geared towards younger kids. We are a middle school and I had to make most of the promotional material and informational videos myself. The items provided by Read-A-Thon were too juvenile for our school 2) We had a HUGE problem with the program duplicating minutes. Scott, in IT, was INCREDIBLE. A huge hats off to your entire customer service department. They were kind, gracious, and helpful; adeptly solving each problem. They are a CRUCIAL and UNIQUE part of your program and a major reason why our Read-A-Thon was successful. Overall, this was a fantastic experience for our school. My favorite moment was half way through the first week, when one student said to another, "This is WAY better than a book fair." Thank you so much for enlivening the joy of reading in our school.

This was an awesome fundraiser. I will definitely do it again next year. It was beneficial to our students and a great way to raise money. The teachers loved it. I have recommended it to all of the media specialists in our county.

This has been a great fundraiser for our school! The principal and teachers did an amazing job of getting the kids excited and reading. The families loved the opportunity to share a fundraiser with family they normally can’t “sell” to. The Read-A-Thon immediately followed a very successful fundraiser and we were still able to blow our goal out of the water. (Our expectations were low after realizing we had timed the 2 fundraisers back-to-back.). We will definitely do a Read-A-Thon again!!!

We utilized this program 2 years ago, then last year decided to do on our own. After evaluation, decided to go through your program again. You make it easy. Staff super helpful! Wouldn't change anything about this program. However, I did have a few families mention they were worried about on-line safety!

Read-a-thon went great. We will likely do this again next year.

Our students loved the Read-a-thon. We will definitely be using it again!

This is a fundraiser the school will likely try again in the future. This was an initial test run and it seemed to work well. I would love to see us do it again in a bigger way. Thank you for your help with getting us from the start to the finish line!

Our read-a-thon was a great success

We loved it!

Our Read-A-Thon went well. Your staff has been very helpful.

Our experience with your company was great. The ladies I spoke to were very helpful

It went well. Thanks for your help!

It was a great experience. We will be doing this again next year, especially now that we know what we are doing.

Thank you for all you have done to help organize and run our Read A Thon.

W.H. Ford School

Regina, SK, Canada

This was a good event. You have to do one to understand how it works. There are a ton of great tools for teachers and students. Thanks for a great site, and a great event. We will be doing this again.

This was a wonderful fundraiser for our school! Thank you for your help in setting up and answering questions.

Hi there! You guys made it super easy to have this read-a-thon. Thanks for everything! Liz

It was a wonderful fundraiser! We had great success and we hope to do this every year!

The read-a-thon was easy to set up, easy to promote via email and social media, and our school had excellent participation!

Everything went well with our Read-A-Thon. We raised more money than anticipated and it has been the most successful fundraiser ever for the School. The only suggestion I’d have is to make the various models for fundraising more visible, as I was under the impression only the prize model was available.

It was a great success! My students loved tracking their minutes and building their reading stamina. I did get a lot of feedback from parents that setting their child up was confusing and so they were not able to do it. As a teacher, I would like to see what the student set up process looks like so I can talk to parents trouble shooting it.

We LOVED the ease of this read-a-thon.

Best library fundraiser we have ever done! I'd never go back!

Thank you Read-A-Thon for having such a fun easy fundraising tool! Our school is health

This was our first year attempting a Read-a-Thon. We were pleasantly surprised with the turnout and anticipate doing this again next year!

By far the easiest fundraiser to run at our school. Our students we excited to log in their reading minutes during March is reading month. We hope to have several more participants next year. Thank you for making this so easy for our PTA and parents!

We loved our read-a-thon! It was the perfect way for our school to promote our amazing reading programs and encourage our students to read, especially with family and friends.

This was great!

Went great! Will use it in the futurw

I think the overall experience was great! It was a great way to get students invested in reading.

I love this program, i just wished I knew how to get more involvement.

As a small K-8, this program seemed to work out. Each student had a great support team and the comment were awesome. It was hard to find businesses who could buy ads or donate money. That said some were very supportive in donating items for top readers/fundraisers. The website seemed to be glitchy at times (student page login, reports, payment, etc). Could use some fliers for the final days (picking prizes before suspense). Soon, we will see how the kids like their prizes and how the pay out works. The support team were fantastic, checking on stasticking tus, sending the materials, and promptly answering questions.

Hello The Read A Thon went fantastic! We would like to have more tools in Spanish made available as we have parents who have English as a second language. Materials geared toward special education as well would be beneficial as we now have that population. Our school really got behind this, we had a book sale at a local bookstore, guest reader and exceeded our plan by almost $2,000!

This was incredible! Such a simple and yet meaningful way to raise money for our class. The only thing that would have helped would be to have a helpful video for parents on how to activate their child's profile.

Would love to see videos geared more towards upper elementary students. Love the updates to the website.

This was our second of many more Read A Thons to come. It is easy and very user friendly to manage. We love all the printed materials that are included to in this program.

Our read a thon went well. Very easy to use. We already have ideas on how to improve the next one!

Read-a-thon was incredibly easy to do and everyone involved loved it - administrators, teachers, media specialists, PTA, parents and students. Thank you!

Another successful read-a-thon. Super easy to manage, kids excited about reading and money raised for a very worthwhile cause. Thanks!

Our Read-A-Thon was great! It was easy to disseminate information to our students, teachers, and parents. The various reports available were very useful in promoting competition between classes. I would like a way to be able to sort individual donations by date.

This was an incredible experience for our students. We were able to raise money for our school in the simplest way possible, but more importantly it spurred our students on to read. They were so excited about reading! They loved to check their minutes and each class set their own goals! You could hear the classes cheering when they reached their reading goal! Thank you for making this such a positive experience. We will be doing it again next year!

It went well for the first one we ever had.

This was our first time using the online read a thon. It was wonderful. They made everything so easy to do. The students loved the safari theme. I am already looking forward to next year's event.

The Read-a-thon went well and I appreciate all your support!

This was very easy to do! You offered great support and all the supplies. We are considering ways to increase involvement next year. Thank you!

We had a great read-a-thon, all the money goes to our teachers for supplies in there classroom. Thank you.

This fundraiser was great and so easy! I was able to admin it on my own, which meant a lot because we don't have a large pool of parent volunteers to draw from. Tiffany and Kari were incredibly helpful and supportive. And I really think our families liked the ease of having an online donation option! The words of encouragement for our students were very heart-warming to read. Thanks for everything Read-a-Thon!

This was our first RAT, an amazing experience !!!! Thank you !

This was our 1st time hosting a Read-A-Thon and we think it went VERY well! We are excited to make this an annual event and increase our fundraising goal for our school's library. Thank you for making the process easy and user friendly. We have received lots of positive feedback from our school's families. Thank you Read-A-Thon.com! Sincerely, John Garcia Casey Librarian

Our read-a-thon was a great success. It was great to support our library through reading!

The Read-A-Thon was a fun and easy fundraiser for our school!

Our families loved it and participation exceeded our expectations!

We loved this experience. Thank you for helping make this a successful event for our school.

This read-a-thon really made my students excited about reading! Throughout the year its hard to keep them motivated to read, this was a great way to ignite the love of reading!

This was a great fundraiser. It was easy to do because the Read-a-Thon team helped with every step of the way.

The Lee F. Jackson Read-a-Thon was great. The website is easy to setup and is easy to use.

Everybody at Read-A-Thon is so helpful and we were able to raise even more money this year. Wonderful!

Went very well. Thanks for having such a user-friendly website!

The Read-A-Thon was a huge success for our small school.

It was fantastic and the perfect fund raiser for my reading lab.

So fun and very successful

It went well. This was a great fundraiser for our school. Thank you.

It was super easy and we loved the experience. We will definitely be doing this again!

We are so happy to have found Read-a-thon. It was a simple and yet effective way fundraiser. We are one step closer to our goal of buying a new school bus.

We loved the ease of this fundraiser! Thank you!

This was easy and your staff was wonderful. We can't wait to do it again next year. Some families had issues setting up their pages and making donations but it was cleared up quickly.

I loved this concept! For the first year I think things went very well. Perhaps there could be more pre-event videos that we can send to parents sprior to the start of the fundraiser to get them a little more excited. My students had fun and I loved how we could interact via social media. Thanks for a great first year! I look forward to doing this again next year!

It was an awesome way to fundraise! Looking forward to doing it again soon!

Loved how easy it was!!!

The students and I enjoyed the read-a-thon. I will be doing this fundraiser again next school year, never have I found something so easy for both the students and myself.

Loved it! So easy and soooo glad the handouts were printed by Read-a-Thon instead of having to do it myself!

We loved the read-a-thon and we will definitely participate next year.

Super Easy, will definitely do it again!

This has been a great tool for raising much-needed additional funds for our library.

A Read-a-Thon is an easy way for an organization to raise money while promoting the joy of reading.

This was our PTO’s first year using Read-a-Thon.com and it was a very postitive experience. The website was easy to navigate and understand. We loved the personalized color copies that came to us sorted and stapled by class. This was very helpful and ensured that we got the materials distributed on time.

This really encouraged our students to read more and got them excited about reading!

This was awesome! Thank you!

We Love Read-a-Thon!

Our inaugural Read-A-Thon was a big hit with our students. We plan to host a Read-A-Thon at the start of each school year using www.read-a-thon.com. We were pleased with the support we received to troubleshoot system bugs and we look forward to a more productive run next school year.

Thank you to ALL of the Read-A-Thon crew, especially Tiffany and Colby, for your support, help, and willingness to help our Read-A-Thon fundraiser for Zane North PTA. It was very nice to work with such a great team and know our questions are always answered in such a short time with detailed answers. We look forward to working with you again next year for Read Across America Week! Take care! Sandra Nesbitt Treasure Zane North PTA 2017-2018

We loved the Read-A-Thon!!! Thank you for providing this opportunity. We plan to take advantage in the future, please don't go away.

Awesome !

I was very pleased with our read-a-thon for our very first fundraiser ever!. My building is a preschool building and we are just introducing families to a positive school experience and this one was easy and educational! Thank you!

We loved the read-a-thon. It would be nice if administrators could leave updates/posts on the school group page. I also think it would be nice if supporters could view the school group page as well as the student's page.

We are a very small school. For the first time doing something like this we really enjoyed it. Thanks

Our students and families love Read-A-Thon. Reaching our reading goal is lots of fun!

We absolutely loved this low maintenance fundraiser. It was educationally driven, and easy to manage. We will definitely do it again next year!

Our students have loved the read-a-thon.

Thank you for this fabulous opportunity to easily raise money for our library. It was awesome!

We loved doing this. It was a Great way to encourage reading at the same time as raising money. Everything was so easy.

This was the best program we have ever used.
