CFF NEWSLETTER: Read-a-Thon Results

Hi Community Families –

When we set the fundraising goal for the Read-a-Thon we knew we had to raise $45,000, we thought we could raise $50,000, we hoped for $60,000, but we never dreamed we could reach $70,000 and we DID! Thank you so much Community for making Read-a-Thon 2021 one of CFF’s biggest fundraisers EVER!

This fundraiser was a massive undertaking and we’d like to thank everyone who worked on it. Special thanks to Mandy Fabian for chairing the committee and overseeing all the work. Thank you to the creative team for writing, filming, and editing all the fabulous videos that kept the Read-a-thon fun for everyone. Thank you to the teachers, staff, and the entire Read-a-Thon committee for pitching in, spreading the word and offering so much incredible support. Finally, we’d also like to thank our amazing community of students and families for registering, sharing with friends and family, and helping us raise over $70,000! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best,

Kate Harrington/Stefania Willens & Mandy Fabian
