The Charity


The Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) has been providing childrens books to libraries in rural Vermont and New Hampshire since 1998. CLiF now runs fifteen different programs to promote literacy for kids.
 

For each book I read, during the 2010 Summer Reading Program, I will donate $5 to CLiF, up to $100. The more books I read, the more money that will be donated.
 

If you'd like to help CLiF, browse on over to their support page.

The Prizes!

At the end of the 2010 Summer Reading Program, one person will be chosen from all the participants for the Grand Prize: a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate.
 

So read, read, read!

The Disclaimer

The 2010 Summer Reading Program is all about fun and charity. I am not a representative or employee of CLiF. I do not benefit financially or in any other way except for meeting (if only virtually) a bunch of great people who like to read. All donations are made directly to CLiF, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
