As a Board Member of Literacy New Jersey, Inc., I’m thrilled to invite you to join me in participating in our Literacy NJ 3 Day Challenge fundraising event. We provide free classes which have improved the reading, math and communication skills of many adults. In addition, we've even had the joy of assisting students to finally reach their long-time goal of attaining a GED.

I'm committed to our slogan Literacy and Justice for All. So, my passion for advocating for my neighbors in Gloucester County and South Jersey as a whole is even more intense now. 

The unexpected loss of federal funding has already forced many non-profits like ours to scale back operations and cancel some programs. However, we remain diligent in our efforts to continue serving New Jersey in spite of these recent challenges!

Your support will help us to continue working toward a more informed, thoughtful, and connected New Jersey! If you share our belief in the power of Literacy to strengthen both individuals and communities, please consider making a gift today.

Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause. We currently have a $5000 match for reaching my goal of $5000 in donations!

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/literacynj3daychallenge2025/account/2033528 Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
