All Ages Read Together (AART) is excited to be bringing its community together in support of their students this holiday season and to be participating in Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024. They will be looking to raise $22,500 through the end of this year to maintain and expand access to their free preschool program located in in-kind donated spaces across Northern Virginia. All donations will be matched by a generous $5,000 matching donation from a long-time supporter of the organization.
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving aiming to create a movement of generosity to bring people together in support of the causes they care about. From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM, you can join AART in their efforts to provide quality early childhood education to children who need it the most. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us continue to offer free programs that prepare children for success in school and life.
All Ages Read Together’s mission is to provide school readiness programs to underserved children in their communities with folks in the DC metro area and beyond. They believe that every child deserves access to quality early education, which lays the foundation for lifelong learning and success. With less than one-third of eligible students across Virginia enrolled in preschool and pass rates on state reading assessments stagnating, children in Northern Virginia need expanded access to early literacy and education opportunities.
All Ages Read Together is asking their supporters, friends, and neighbors to join in on December 3rd to help give their students an incredible classroom experience now and for years to come, by donating to help them put books, backpacks, and more in their students’ hands! For more information on how you can get involved and donate, visit AART’s official End of Year Giving website.
