Readathon

Occurs in early spring

The Read-a-thon is a wonderful opportunity to promote reading and literacy while at the same time raising money for the Brackett PTO.

The Readathon is a fundraiser where students raise money for the PTO by having people (friends, family, neighbors, etc) sponsor their reading.
The average donation was $30 per student, although some students received much more, and some none at all. 96% of students created an online donation page to track their reading and a smaller percentage raised money.
Students are incentivized to participate by creating a school-wide competition for the most minutes read. Grown-ups focus on raising the money.

The idea is to have the students be invested in the fundraiser and feel like they are directly contributing to the betterment of their school.
