Over the past few years, students and families from Salem CSD have supported the Ronald McDonald House Charities program through the annual READ fundraiser. We're excited to announce that the fundraiser is returning and will begin after the holiday break!
The local Ronald McDonald House provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. This vital work is made possible through donations and volunteers, who assist families facing a medical crisis.
The fundraiser will run for four weeks, from Wednesday, January 8th to Wednesday, February 5th. During this time, Salem CSD students are invited to participate by simply reading! Here’s how it works: students can ask friends, family, and community members to pledge a certain amount for the time they spend reading throughout the fundraiser. Each day, students will track their reading time and collect pledges based on their total at the end of the month.
Last year, 23 students from our district participated and raised $3,195 for families in need! Learn more about how you can contribute and get involved here: https://give.rmhcofalbany.org/team/610750
