Wednesday, March 30 - Tuesday, April 5

In place of our largest fundraiser, the Spring Gala, the Brooks PTA will instead host The Brooks Read-a-thon this year.  Our goal is to encourage students to read while raising $20,000 to support our school. 

 

The fundraiser will take place at William Brooks and truly anywhere that you can read a book! There will be daily themed spirit days, as well as events on campus to celebrate literacy and the joy of reading.  Children will collect pledges and read (or be read to) throughout the week in an effort to earn money for the William Brooks PTA.  ALL minutes read in and out of school COUNT!


Visit our fundraiser page to get started logging minutes and donating right now!


Schoolwide Fundraising Goal:  $20,000
*Just $50/student*

Please help us reach our goal!

THANK YOU for a successful read-a-thon! If you forgot to donate, it is not too late! Follow the link below to donate, but note that any donations made after April 6 will not count toward group or individual prizes.
