Adult Read-A-Thon
Remember when you were a kid and you did the MS read-a-thon to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis? OK, maybe you don't, but trust me it was cool. We do the same thing, but with adults reading the classics. All of the money goes to your local arts non-profit for kids and Random House matches the donations dollar for dollar. And if you raise enough, we'll give you a cool Tolstoy t-shirt.
