Ready to spur impact?

I’m Lisa Voicheck.

I’m fundraising for 2024 Giving Tuesday Fellow Fundraiser (Reading Assist).

 I’m so excited to share that I’m participating in Reading Assist’s 2024 Giving Tuesday Fellow Fundraiser! Reading Assist is the nonprofit organization I’m serving with this year through AmeriCorps. It provides reading instruction and intervention services for young, at-risk children with the most significant reading challenges in high-needs schools across Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. 

This year, I, along with other Reading Assist tutors, am working to raise $10,000 towards the organization’s overall goal of raising $35,000 in honor of their 35th year of supporting young struggling readers throughout the region. 

By contributing to our $10,000 goal, you’ll help ensure that countless children have the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of reading. 

While Giving Tuesday is officially on December 3rd, we are kicking off our fundraiser on November 19th to give us the best chance at achieving our goal. I know that with help from community members like you, we can make a difference, and together, we all win! 

Please use my fundraiser link [insert link] to donate no later than December 3rd at midnight and help me qualify to win a donut and coffee party for the staff at my school and some other exciting prizes! 

Thank you in advance for your support!
