Every $3 donation has helped close the preschool readiness gap for one child living in poverty. I truly appreciate all you have done to support our cause.  \nThanks to your generous support, we have raised $   to give   children brand-new books and an entire year of weekly text messages-proven to increase parent engagement and child literacy skills. Your generosity has helped build home libraries and empower parents to teach vocabulary every day from birth. Thanks to you,   children will begin preschool with the early reading skills they need to reach their full potential. Thank you for making story-time and equal opportunity possible.  \nI hope you know how much I appreciate your support.  \nWith gratitude,  \nInternational Fundraising Days  \nPlan your fundraiser ANY time of the year, or consider hosting your event on oneof the following international days of charitable giving and community service:  \n• ANY DAY: Casual pregame, birthday, office party, team-building activity…  \n• August 12: Interna","cbCaidySsf8VOMJk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidySsf8VOMJk","pdf",17719865,9,"English","# Fundraiser Steps\n## Choose a fundraiser type\n## Invite guests (templates and social media)\n## Share tickets and thank-you letters\n## Donate online and find book donation locations\n# Fundraiser Content Templates\n## Invitation-Template\n## Thank You Letter-Template\n# International Fundraising Days\n# Social Media Captions","[{\"question\":\"What are the main steps to host the fundraiser?\",\"answer\":\"Choose a fundraiser type, invite guests using sample invitations and social media, share event tickets and thank-you letters during or after the event, then donate online to a literacy-focused charity and use local book donation options when needed.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the invitation template present the fundraiser details?\",\"answer\":\"It should include where and when, what guests should bring, why the fundraiser matters for early literacy, and how donations translate into books and weekly text/email support for parent engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"What follow-up communication is included after the event?\",\"answer\":\"A thank-you letter template expresses personal gratitude, states how donations helped close the preschool readiness gap, and confirms outcomes such as books provided and ongoing weekly messaging to support literacy.\"}]","Fundraiser - Host a Fundraiser | PDF",1789129446]
