Join us for the exciting Backpack Challenge Readathon taking place from August 1 to August 31, 2025, in St. Paul, Dakota! This vibrant event is not just about reading; it's a fantastic opportunity for families and communities to come together and make a meaningful difference. As part of the 2025 MREF Readathon, participants will help raise funds to provide over 600 backpacks filled with essential school supplies for underprivileged children across the U.S.

Whether you're an individual looking to join a book club and track your reading minutes or a sponsor eager to rally your employees around a shared love of literature, there’s something for everyone! Dive into your favorite books, engage in friendly competition on the leaderboard, and share your reading journey through photos. Let’s kick off the back-to-school season by igniting a passion for reading and supporting those in need. Get ready to turn pages for a purpose!
