This will be the second author event in the 2012 Dependable Cleaners’ summer reading program, Read to Ride. In its 14th year, Read to Ride is designed to foster the love of reading and provide students aged 6-15 with the tools they need to ensure year-long learning success. Over the past 13 years, children have read more than 59,000 books.
For every book a child reads, they fill out an entry form and submit it at any Dependable Cleaners store location or with a Dependable Cleaners Home Delivery Driver. Dependable Cleaners will randomly draw one winner and 2 runner-up prize winner every Monday until August 13, (with the exception of July 2). The winner will receive a new bike and the runner ups will win a gift card to a local sporting goods store or activity around town.
Entry forms will be available at Dependable Cleaners 16 locations and with Home Delivery Drivers, as well as at the participating libraries and sporting goods stores throughout the duration of the program.
Read to Ride 2012 is sponsored by Dependable Cleaners in conjunction with Farina’s Bicycle Center, Dave’s Bike Infirmary, Buttonwood Books, Newtonville Books, The Patriot Ledger and Patch.com.
