‘Raise-a-Reader’ Campaign

Every dollar raised during this annual campaign will be matched with 75¢ by the Province of BC. Raise-a-Reader funds are used to support our children, family, and adult literacy programs.

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.

You can donate directly to the ‘Raise-a-Reader’ Campaign via:

1. CanadaHelps

2. A cheque mailed to Project Literacy Central Okanagan Society, 107-2293 Leckie Rd, Kelowna, BC, V1X 6Y5

3. E-transfer sent to admin@projectliteracy.ca

PLEASE DONATE TODAY!

In conjunction with this campaign, we host an Annual Fundraiser BBQ at our Learning Center on Leckie Rd.

The 2026 Fundraiser BBQ will be held on Tuesday September 15th!
