Kids Fun Run presented by Memorial Hospital and Story Land.The Kids' Fun Run will begin promptly at 9:00 am with registration opening up in the back parking lot at 8:15 am.

Local children in school districts SAU 9, 13, 20, 3 & MSAD 72 have their registration fee covered by Memorial Hospital, so they can race for free! All other participants only pay a $10 donation to register! All net proceeds from this event will go towards BIBLF's Books from Birth
program.Books from Birth started in 2008 and since then, BIBLF has been able to provide new books to over 3,000 families through this outreach program. Children in this program are mailed new, age-appropriate books at important developmental stages at no cost to the family when they return a postcard provided at a participating hospital! Looking to expand this program to more hospitals in more towns, BIBLF hopes to raise funds and awareness of the importance of an early introduction to literacy. Statistics show early introductions to literacy provide an increase in educational outcomes and continuous reading habits into adulthood.Visit www.believeinbooks.org

BIBLF is hoping this will be the biggest Fun Run to date.This fundraiser is one that the Believe In Books Literacy Foundation has created to help support its literacy initiatives.
