Read to Grow receives calls throughout the year from individuals and organizations wishing to stage fundraising events to help support our programs. These volunteer-coordinated events are developed and run independently from our organization, and can include themed parties, auctions, candy or bake sales, casual dress days and more. We encourage interested individuals and groups to use their imaginations!

Businesses also can support our mission to build early literacy by contributing a portion of their proceeds during a specific time period, or proceeds from a specific product or event to Read to Grow, for example.
                      
If you’re interested in planning a volunteer-coordinated event, or learning more, please call Tina Silidker at RTG at 203.488.6800.
