Read For the Stars ~ Usborne Books & More Fundraising Program
What is Reach for the Stars?
For schools, organizations, homeschool groups, churches, daycares, preschools, MOPS programs, caring parent & support groups, charity benefits, corporation community service projects, Boy or Girl Scouts etc...Here's a fundraiser with a purpose and up to 125% return!
Reach for the Stars! A new type of fundraiser promotes literacy and builds dreams, placing books in the hands of children, building their own libraries & raising cash &/or books for the school or organization.
Reach for the Stars is a pledge based reading incentive program. The students read (non readers/young children will be read to) and collect pledges from friends, neighbors, and relatives. This program works much like sponsoring a participant in jump rope for heart or breast cancer walk type program, except with Reach for the Stars you are sponsoring a child and encouraging reading.
Each student reads 30 minutes a day for 10 days in a 14 day period. Most reading experts recommend 30 minutes of reading a day, and one of the goals of the Reach for the Stars program is to establish good routine reading habits.
When the pledges are collected and turned in, up to125% return is given to the school or organization in the form of books, or as a combination of books and cash.

Cub Scout Pack 553
We have done numerous Read-A-Thon's with Leina. She does a great job getting the kids motivated, and we all love the rewards! We have earned more for our Pack every year, and we donate the extra books to our local school library. It is how we encourage the boys to support our local community . Give it a try...we think you will love Reach for the Stars, Usborne Books, and Leina!

"Our first Reach for the Stars Event raised $6700 in pledges with only 170 students participating! Every year since then we have increased the level of participation. So far, in three years, we have given over $15,000 worth of books to children and have added over $8,000 worth of books in the classrooms and the school library!”
