I'm raising money for the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation

We're thrilled to be participating in READATHON 2025, a fundraiser supporting Tompkins County Public Library Foundation! This is our sixth year participating. We're passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

This year, to bring in the spooky season, we'll be reading from a book that Olivia read over the summer for a project--the unforgettable We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. 

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. 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!
