Sony Corporation of America Returns to Participate in Annual Read Across AART Event

Herndon, VA, March 3, 2025 – All Ages Read Together (AART) is excited to announce the return of its annual Read Across AART event, aimed at fostering a love for reading and literacy among young children. We are thrilled to have Sony Corporation of America as a returning partner, whose continued support has been instrumental in the success of this event.

Hosted from March 3rd to March 7th, Read Across AART brings together students, families, and volunteers to celebrate reading through engaging activities, interactive story sessions, and hands-on workshops. This event highlights the importance of early childhood literacy and its positive impact on children’s academic and personal growth.

AART will host Sony employees to read to students in person in classes throughout Northern Virginia and virtually across our classrooms, bringing generations together in celebration of the magic reading can bring to a child’s life. “We look forward to this week every year and are incredibly grateful to Sony Corporation of America for their ongoing support and commitment to our mission,” said Michelle Sullivan, Executive Director of AART.

Run the Greenway – Join Team AART!

The Dulles Greenway is hosting its inaugural Run the Greenway Race on May 1, 2021. This family-friendly event provides a socially distant convening opportunity and fundraising vehicle for All Ages Read Together and other participating Loudoun County, Virginia organizations.

“The Dulles Greenway is committed to serving the Loudoun community and we are honored to directly support the positive contributions that our charity partners are making in our local community during this difficult time,” said TRIP II CEO Renée N. Hamilton. “We are excited to welcome the region’s runners and their families to the first annual Run the Greenway race and we are pleased to be able to offer our nonprofit partners a powerful fundraising platform that will help them advance their important work.”

AART has registered a growing team of runners and walkers to join our team! You can join us by going to http://bit.ly/jointeamaart!

“AART is absolutely thrilled to be invited to participate in this inaugural event,” said AART Executive Director, Michelle Sullivan. “100% of the donations raised will go directly to our summer classes in Loudoun County, which is truly the last chance for children entering kindergarten to be prepared and ready to succeed. We are looking forward to seeing everyone who is walking or running for Team AART!”

The Run the Greenway race will start and finish at Dulles Greenway’s Mainline Toll Plaza. Runners and walkers can choose a 5K or 10K distance, there will also be an 800-meter Kids Fun Run and a virtual race option.
