Hello everyone!

This summer, I’m excited to join the Boston Public Library Fund’s Summer Reading Readathon: Unearthing Your Story. Just like last year, I’ll be setting a personal reading goal and spending the season digging into new books, discovering new ideas, and uncovering stories that inspire curiosity, imagination, and connection.

This summer I've upped my goal to read 20 minutes every weekday over the course of the readathon. By sponsoring my reading journey, you’ll help support youth summer reading and the BPL Fund’s work to expand access to learning, literacy, creativity, and opportunity across Boston’s neighborhoods.

Also new this summer: my sister, Ellie, is joining the effort! She’s also made a goal to read 20 minutes per day and hopes you’ll support us as we fundraise together.

How It Works:

We Read – We’re challenging ourselves to read independently for 20 minutes every weekday this summer starting July 6. We’ll be tracking our progress and sharing updates along the way, so keep an eye out. Every donation helps us reach our reading goal!

You Donate – Your support on this page—no matter how big or small—makes all the difference. Suggested donation: $1 per every 20 minutes we read or whatever you feel inclined to give.

We Make a Difference – Together, we’ll help ensure young readers have access to the books, programs, resources, and experiences that make summer reading meaningful, joyful, and accessible.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hugs,

Max & Ellie
