Today is Raise-a-Reader day in Vancouver - help a good cause
VANCOUVER - Make sure to grab a copy of The Vancouver Sun and contribute to the Raise-a-Reader campaign today. The annual event begins this morning at 7 a.m.
Local celebrities including players from the Canucks, Lions, and Whitecaps and members of local police and fire departments will be selling newspapers at several street corners in downtown Vancouver and at transit stations during the morning commute.
The goal is to raise as much money as possible for literacy programs for British Columbia's libraries and schools.
Last year's B.C. campaign raised $1.14 million for literacy programs across the province.
The campaign was started by The Sun in 1997.
Donations can be made by phone: 604-605-2304 or 1-866-637-READ (7323); online at www.raiseareader.com; or by mailing a cheque payable to The Vancouver Sun Raise-a-Reader, #1 — 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 3N3. |
