READ USA sent us a warm thank-you letter following our fundraiser for their book fair:

Thank you to the generous congregation of Unitarian Universalist Church for your tremendous role in delivering over 26,000 new books to 6,697 pre-k to elementary students in 16 Title 1 schools in 5 days with 1,000’s of smiles!

Your generous donation of $5,000 and Meg Rohal’s volunteer leadership and recruitment among your congregation not only helped ensure that every student at Arlington Heights Elementary School participated in a colorful, beautiful book fair…by choosing 3 brand new books to own for free just in time for summer break, but you also encouraged other donors and volunteers to expand the impact! 100% of your donation went toward the purchase of new books the students chose to own because READ USA, Inc. is 100% volunteer run…Thank you for your investment in literacy where it matters most to our future! Readers are Leaders!

~ Ellen A. Will, President, READ USA, Inc.
