Hey Teves Read-A-Thon Launched!

ULYOP PTA Hey Teves Read-A-Thon

What is the Read-a-thon?
The Read-a-thon will be our largest Fundraiser of the year. Participants earn money by reading, logging
minutes read and gathering pledges . Participants will set a reading goal and will have the designated
days above to reach their goal. Participants get pledges from family, friends, neighbors and businesses
to support their efforts. Donors can either pledge a certain amount of money per minute read or make a
flat donation.

How do I get Pledges?
Ask friends and family!

What is our goal?
Our #1 goal is to make sure ALL students end the event with a stronger desire to learn Torah,
read and a richer knowledge of how the skill of reading affects all aspects of their lives.

Reading: We have a school wide goal to read 20k minutes!!
If every student reads 20 minutes a day we will reach our goal in a week!!

Pledging: We hope to collect $2000 in pledges. If every student collects $20, we will reach this goal.

What happens if we reach our goal?
We will have funds to build our reading library at the yeshiva.
