Our annual Raise-a-Reader Fundraiser Campaign takes place from July 1st to the September 30th. Funds raised during this time are ‘topped up’ by the Provincial Government. This makes Raise-a-Reader the best time to donate to Project Literacy, as your donation is almost doubled!
Raise a Reader funds are used to support our children, family, and adult literacy programs.
History of Raise-a-Reader:
The Raise-a-Reader fundraising and awareness campaign was created by Post Media in 1997 to support family literacy programs in BC. It helps to fund programs which improve literacy skills. These skills are the foundation for lifelong learning that affects the quality of life and the health and social economic well-being of individuals, families and communities.
In conjunction with the Raise-a-Reader Campaign, we will be hosting a Fundraiser BBQ at the Landmark District Courtyard (on Dickson Ave) at the end of September (date TBD) from 11:30am -1:30pm. We were so pleased with last year’s turn out from community members who came to enjoy music, food, games and to support Project Literacy’s family programming.
