Read Ride Run Virtual Fundraiser 2022

We are excited to share that Friends of the Elkins Public Library and Elkins Community Network are teaming up to host the first Read, Ride, Run! Participants will seek sponsors to donate money for the participant to read, ride their bike, or run.

All proceeds will go towards funding EPL programs, especially the summer reading program.

Event Kick-Off: April 1

Final Logs & Sponsorship Money Due: June 3 by 6pm

Winners Announcement: June 6

Prizes Available: June 8
