We're raising money for Read Ahead!

On March 25, we'll be competing as a Trivia team to support Read Ahead, a New York City nonprofit dedicated to helping kids develop literacy and social-emotional skills they need to thrive.

In NYC public schools around 50% of students are struggling with one of the most foundational skills for success: reading. 

This is where Read Ahead comes in. We know that with the right support, every student can become a joyful, confident, and fluent reader. Read Ahead intervenes early, providing weekly sessions designed to help 1st - 5th graders develop literacy skills, a love of reading, confidence, and more. And we know Read Ahead works. Last year, 95% of parents and teachers said that their student(s) benefited from being in Read Ahead.

We're excited to come together to participate in Giving Tuesday 2024. Our collective passion for this cause drives us, and we need your support to make a difference! Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important program.

Here's how you can help:

  • Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts!
  • Spread the word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you so much for your support! We couldn’t do this without you!
