Thank you to 6 “soup-er” kids who participated in our 3rd Annual Ready, Set, Read fundraising program to benefit Soupy for Loopy Foundation. These young readers read 65 books from Laura’s Loft and collected $745 to help fight childhood cancer in memory of Laura A. Sypek.
Very special thanks to Toni Golinski-Foisy, Terri Mitus and Mia Cabana at the library for their gracious support and assistance again this year.
Special thanks to JJ’s Soft Serve and More for providing an ice cream treat during this very hot summer.
Heartwarming thanks to all, near and far, who sponsored these young readers for without them, this program would not be successful.
