Readathon

The Thornhill Readathon is one of our main fundraising events, raising nearly $30,000 in the past two years to help support programs and fill major gaps in our PFC budget.
We challenge kids to read, and they encourage family and friends to contribute based on their reading activity. A number of exciting Readathon-related programs, including Read-Ins and Meet the Author visits are also held in conjunction with the main event. There are 3 simple ways to participate:
