Review the text. We are excited to tell all students about this year's fundraiser. Instead of asking you to
sell magazines or candy, we are holding an online Read-a-Thon!
We can't do this without you. To meet our fundraising goal of five thousand dollars, we
need all students to register online and create an account. Next, invite sponsors via email
or social media. Sponsors can pledge a dollar amount for every hour that you read, or
they can pledge a fixed amount. Improve your reading ability and support your school at
the same time. Get started today!
