Rodman Ride for Kids
New this year: choose your own adventure!
The Rodman Ride for Kids is an athletic fundraising event that supports nonprofits serving at-risk youth in Massachusetts. A proud affiliate for over ten years, RAR-MA is preparing for its biggest participation and fundraising year yet! The virtual ride was always an option, but this year it is the only option. Even better, you don't have to get on a bike to be involved - you can choose your own adventure.
Welcoming riders/fundraisers, sponsorships and donors. First, view the sponsorship and "rider" benefits here. Then click on the button below to register.

Other Ways to Support Us

BOOK DRIVE
Businesses, schools and community groups often host new and used book drives to support Raising A Reader MA.
IN-OFFICE
DATA ENTRY
Assist in tasks such as entering family pre- and post- Red Bag implementation surveys, entering information forms, and entering partner surveys. Other administrative volunteer opportunities available, as well.
DOUBLE
YOUR IMPACT
Did you know most companies will match their employees’ contributions to our organization? After you make your donation, ask your employer about its matching gifts program. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift, or the process may be electronic. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to this organization may be doubled or possibly tripled!
SUPPORT WORKSHOPS
THROUGH OUR AMAZON WISHLIST
Give the gift of literacy when you provide us with workshop supplies such as gift cards, flip chart paper, and books!
LEAVE YOUR
LITERACY LEGACY
Gifts by will are a meaningful way to leave unrestricted funding to Raising A Reader MA and to help create the next generation of readers and leaders. Please consult your attorney and consider gifting us a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your residual estate or a specific asset. We hope you will also consider informing us of this decision so we can properly thank you. Email maryann@raisingareaderma.org if you choose to do so.
