How can you participate in Sweet Readers?
There are so many ways!
As 2020 comes to an end and Sweet Readers has had to cancel all fundraising events, one easy way that anyone can participate is by making a donation to Sweet Readers. Your money goes directly to our programs and every dollar counts. It is especially important that we fundraise enough money so that we can run our programs with schools and eldercare centers that need financial aid!
Another way to participate is by purchasing a warm Sweet Readers Sweatshirt, a safe and stylish Discover the Person Mask, solidarity bracelets or a Sweet Readers notebook (when you just want to write or create off line!) – all excellent and practical gifts – even after the holidays. Next month we will launch our special 10th Anniversary web site where you can support us with your purchases, so stay tuned!
If you are an adult and know an elder who is currently isolated due to the Global Pandemic, you can participate by reaching out so we can bring them into one of our programs! Simply email: programs@sweetreaders.org – to engage an isolated adult in need or suggest an eldercare residence!
Middle schoolers, you can participate by getting your school involved! While we are fully booked for this year, we will start considering schools for next year this spring, so the sooner you reach out the better! And if you are a Sweet Reader alumni or will graduate to high school next year, then check back here in May when we open up the application process for our Leadership Council for 2021-22.
Another important way to participate is by helping out with our 10th Anniversary celebration. This is Sweet Readers’ 10th school year and next month our plans will go into full swing for an exciting celebration. We’ll need parents, students, artists, a talented documentary film maker, sponsors, storytellers (do you have a Sweet Readers story to share?)….and more. Best to reach out to that committee: connect10n@sweetreaders.org.
Finally, everyone should participate by both liking our Facebook page and follow us on Instagram!
