CFF NEWSLETTER: Read-a-Thon Edition
December 5, 2022
Message from Our President
Hi Community Families –
This is a special edition Readathon newsletter with chock full of other important news about the next two weeks so please read through to the end!
Community, we are more than half-way through our Readathon and are 59% to our fundraising goal of $50,000. We are right on track but to be honest, $50,000 is the minimum we need to raise with this fundraiser and I know we can raise a lot more. Last year, we raised over $69,000!!!! Some can say that it was an anomaly, some can believe that’s a number we won’t ever reach again with this fundraiser. I don’t think either of those things are true. I believe that it’s important to our community to keep all our programs and support staff and I think that with 100% participation we can raise even more than we did last year! All I have to do is look at the percentage of families with just 1 or more donations, 35%, and know that I have 283 reasons to believe that we can BREAK last year’s record! Come on, Community, let’s do this!
Best,
Kate Harrington
CFF, President
