The Reading Fall Street Faire is back and UD will be there - this year we are highlighting local businesses with a fun raffle! For every $5 donation to UD between 9/1 and 5pm on 9/12 at givebutter.com/UDatStreetFair… (or at the Faire), the giver will get one raffle ticket to win!

With each $5 donation also choose to help the Reading elementary school “team” of your choice win their own prize! The more you donate, the more chances for you to win, AND the school with the most $5 donations will win a prize of supplies and books! givebutter.com/UDatStreetFair…

Stay tuned to UD’s Facebook and Insta in September for more info about raffle prizes, and visit UD at the Faire on 9/12 from 12-5pm. HELP YOUR SCHOOL WIN and help UD in the process! Share this post and ask friends to choose your school team when giving! givebutter.com/UDatStreetFair…

Only 10 days until the Fall Street Faire! Donate online TODAY or at the Faire on 9/12 before 5pm to enter to win a raffle prize for yourself and help the school of your choice win a prize too! The more you donate, the more chances for you to win: givebutter.com/UDatStreetFair….

It costs $10 per student to fund UD lessons in Reading Public Schools each year. For the Street Faire this year, a donation of half that, $5, will get you one raffle ticket and help the Reading elementary school of your choice win a prize as well! givebutter.com/udatstreetfair…

Wow! We’re more than 80% of the way to our initial goal of $5000 dollars raised! Killam Elementary is still in the lead, with Barrows Elementary School next and nearly a three-way tie between Birch, Joshua Eaton School, and WoodEndSch.

2 days until the Faire and we surpassed our initial goal of $5000 raised! Congrats to Birch for jumping into the lead! Killam Elementary is holding strong in 2nd, seanna barrows, Joshua Eaton School WoodEndSch close behind. Our new goal gets us one step closer to fully funding UD in 2021-22.

Thank you to Cordele Photography for donating our newest raffle prize - a 30 minute portrait session with one free 16x24 print - value over $350!

Final tallies are in and we raised more than $8000! After taking a strong lead in the first few days of the competition, in spite of a very strong showing from Birch, Killam Elementary takes the prize for most raised at $2,290. Congrats to Killam!

Today at Killam Elementary we dropped off 100 boxes of supplies from Staples, gift cards from Walmart and Whitelam Books, and 2 copies of “Thank You, Mr. Falker” by Patricia Polacco - a UD recommended book! Pictured: Principal Leveque, Mrs Iozzo, PTO Co-President Lee Farris
