Buzzing Hands Across Literacy Read-a-Thon is an exciting challenge where participants set reading goals and seek sponsorship from friends, family, and community members to support their reading efforts. Whether you’re a bookworm or a casual reader, everyone is welcome to join in the fun and read the books you love!
