Be a part of our story!

Read for RMHC-CR is a reading and literacy-based fundraising campaign that gives young readers the opportunity to volunteer their time to support the children and families served by RMHC of the Capital Region. Kids get to help other kids, and learn about the impact they can make on their communities!

School Programs

2024-2025 School Partners

Read for RMHC-CR runs in partnership with area elementary and middle schools for four weeks of reading and fundraising. For the 2025-26 school year, schools may choose to read in either February or March 2026.

Throughout their chosen reading month, participating students gather sponsorship from family and friends for the reading they will do for the month.  All donations earned are used to give love and support to families dealing with serious childhood illnesses and injuries.

By participating in Read for RMHC-CR, our readers strengthen their reading/literacy skills, learn about the value and importance of community service, and are empowered about the difference they can make in the lives of others. Thanks to our many program partners, participants also earn great prizes as they raise funds for RMHC-CR. In addition, the program offers 10% of funds raised by schools or nonprofit groups back to the group for their own fundraising needs.

In addition to our school partners, we also welcome small groups and independent readers to join us. We are so thankful to all our participants for the tremendous difference they make in the lives of the families served by RMHC-CR!

We would love to have you be a part of our story! Please contact Amy McGeady, Read for RMHC-CR Manager, at amcgeady@rmhcofalbany.org or (518) 438-2655 for more information.
