Raise-a-Reader Fundraiser Campaign & BBQ

Project Literacy is hosting our Annual ‘Raise-a-Reader’ Campaign from July 1-September 30, 2024. Every dollar raised during this time 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, 1635 Bertram Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2G5
3. E-transfer sent to admin@projectliteracy.ca
PLEASE DONATE TODAY!

In conjunction with this campaign, we hosted a Fundraiser BBQ at the Landmark District Courtyard (on Dickson Ave) on Thursday, September 26th from 11:30am-1:30pm. We were so pleased with our community who came to enjoy music, food, games and to support Project Literacy’s family programming, where children and adults can achieve their full potential at school, work and within the community through FREE individualized literacy instruction. This event was generously sponsored by Crowe Mackay LLP.
