For many years schools have relied on candy or cookie dough sales to raise money. However there are other options to food sales for fundraisers, one of them being a Read-a-Thon.

A Read-a-thon, similar to any marathon, is where participants ask donors to give them money for every reading session. Students can have family and friends donate a few dollars for every 30 minutes read per week, a junk-food free activity.

One website offers a way to host these Read-a-thons online to allow donors to use credit cards for easier use and for teachers to track student participation in a user friendly way.
