Backpack Challenge Readathon

Saint Paul, MN

The MREF Backpack Challenge Readathon is an industry fundraiser that will involve your entire family! Get ready for back-to-school season – and help underprivileged children in the U.S. – just by reading books. Our goal is to send hundreds of backpacks full of essential supplies to students in need! Individuals: Join a book club to track your minutes reading, compare your progress with others on the leaderboard, share photos – and open a good book for a good cause. Sponsors: Become a sponsor to set up a book club and invite your employees to join! Choose a book or theme to help spark discussion among your club or encourage everyone to pick up their favorite book. Email Alana Gates at alana@mrgivesback.org for more information.
