About the Event

The 2026 MREF Readathon is an industry fundraiser that will involve your entire family! Get ready for back-to-school season – and help underprivileged children in the U.S. – just by reading books.

Our goal is to send 800 backpacks full of essential supplies to students in need! 

Individuals: Join a book club to track your minutes reading, compare your progress with others on the leaderboard, share photos – and open a good book for a good cause. 

Sponsors: Become a sponsor to set up a book club and invite your employees to join! Choose a book or theme to help spark discussion among your club or encourage everyone to pick up their favorite book. E-mail Alana Gates at alana@mrgivesback.org for more information.

The Backpack Challenge Readathon brings an exciting race distance to Saint Paul, Minnesota on August 1, 2026. Don't miss this beautiful event!
