LPIE’s 4th Annual Read-a-Thon Results

These milestones mark our HIGHEST EVER totals for the Read-a-Thon – a testament to the unwavering support of our community.
A special thank you to all of the educators, parents, caregivers, families and community members who helped with this event — you played a vital role in empowering our students to explore new worlds, reflect on their own, and flourish as READERS.
Your generous donations to LPIE are also instrumental in our pursuit of this year’s $4.5M fundraising goal, and for this, LPIE extends its deepest gratitude.
Stay tuned as we contact our prize-winners individually and announce them soon. If you have feedback or ideas for our next Read-a-Thon, we’d love to hear from you—please email read@lpie.org!

Read-a-thon
The LPIE Read-a-thon ends TODAY! Our students have shown tremendous enthusiasm for reading and witnessing these avid readers in action is inspiring. Make sure your student finishes up that book they started, logs their final minutes, and collects at least one donation. We can’t wait to see who will win these amazing prizes!
 
Gala
We need your help! Violet & Aster is in need of extra hands in preparing and delivering florals for this year’s LPIE Gala. If you love flowers, like to be around them, and want to support LPIE, please join us! Getting all of the florals done for this annual event could not be done without the hands and help of volunteers. Yummy snacks, beverages, good laughs and a bit of insight into floral arranging is promised. Click HERE to help out (Mar 3 – Mar 9 at various times) and have fun!
