Yours Humanly Has Launched Its Summer BookFest Read-a-thon, Sponsored by Amazon

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - June 19, 2020 - PRLog -- Yours Humanly has launched its 2020 BookFest Read-a-thon, sponsored  by Amazon, a summer fundraiser that encourages reading while helping children in need. Participants reach out to their family, friends, and social circles and ask for one-time donations to support their reading efforts on behalf of Yours Humanly, a global nonprofit that provides children in need access to quality education and equitable resources. Sponsors choose the amount they wish to donate and participants honor those sponsorships by doing something they already love to do—read.

"The health crisis we are facing is having disastrous economic effects on already underfunded school systems worldwide, especially those serving children in need," says Sunny Singh, founder and CEO of Yours Humanly. "We are steadfast and will continue to serve students, teachers, schools, and school districts as they move through recovery in the "new normal" learning environment. We are raising funds through events, such as the 2020 BookFest Read-a-thon, to provide the distance learning tools, educational supplies, and equitable resources needed to create safe and productive classrooms and school experiences during the pandemic."

Registration for the Yours Humanly 2020 BookFest Read-a-thon, which runs June 15 through July 31, is free and open to all individuals, families, and communities worldwide. Only one registration is needed per family, and families can add any number of readers who wish to participate in fundraising for a good cause.
