Yours Humanly has launched its 2020 Summer 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.

Yours Humanly is raising funds to provide the distance learning tools and technology, educational supplies, and equitable resources needed to create safe and productive classrooms and school experiences during the health and economic crises.

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.
